General description

Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor-3 (FGFR 3) is a protein that belongs to Tyr protein kinase family and is expressed in various fetal and adult human and animal tissues. It plays a vital role in inducing apoptosis in chondrogenic ATDC5 cells. It also facilitates cell proliferation and differentiation.

Specificity

The antibody reacts specifically with FGFR-3 in lysates of transfected cells. No reaction with FGFR-1 and FGFR-2 is detected.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 792-806 of the cytoplasmic region of human FGFR-3 with N-terminal added lysine.

Application

Anti-Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor-3, cytoplasmic antibody can be used in immunohistochemistry (diluted 1:250) using Trypsin-digested, human and animal tissue sections for identification of FGFR-3. It can also be used in immunoprecipitation.
Applications in which this antibody has been used successfully, and the associated peer-reviewed papers, are given below.
Immunohistochemistry (1 paper)
Western Blotting (1 paper)

Biochem/physiol Actions

Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor-3 (FGFR-3) plays a vital role in inducing apoptosis in chondrogenic ATDC5 cells. It also facilitates cell proliferation and differentiation. Mutations in the FGFR-3 gene leads to Wolf-Hirshhorn syndrome (growth failure, mental retardation, cardiac and bone malformations) and achondroplasia.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 1% bovine serum albumin and 15 mM sodium azide.

Activating mutations of fibroblast growth factor receptor-3 (FGFR3) have been described in approximately 75% of low-grade papillary bladder tumors. In muscle-invasive disease, FGFR3 mutations are found in 20% of tumors, but overexpression of FGFR3 is observed in about half of

Hypochondroplasia (HCH) is a mild dwarfism caused by missense mutations in fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3), with the majority of cases resulting from a heterozygous p.Asn540Lys gain-of-function mutation. Here, we report the generation and characterization of the first mouse

The most frequent type of rhizomelic dwarfism, achondroplasia (ACH), is caused by mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene. Mutations in FGFR3 result in skeletal dysplasias of variable severity, including mild phenotypic effects in hypochondroplasia (HCH), severe
