A New 34-Kilodalton Isoform of Human Fibroblast Growth Factor 2 Is Cap Dependently Synthesized by Using a Non-AUG Start Codon and Behaves as a Survival Factor

1 Jan 1999

Abstract excerpt

Four isoforms of human fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) result from alternative initiations of translation at three CUG start codons and one AUG start codon. Here we characterize a new 34-kDa FGF-2 isoform whose expression is initiated at a fifth initiation codon. This 34-kDa FGF-2 was identified in HeLa cells by using an N-terminal directed antibody. Its initiation codon was identified by site-directed...
