General description
Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) belongs to the family of heparin-binding growth factors. It is localized in the cells of the mesoderm and neuroectodermal origin and several tumor cells. FGF-2 exists in four isoforms. It is made up of four cysteine residues, many basic residues, and two active sites. FGF-2 protein is a trigonal pyramidal structure formed by twelve anti-parallel β-sheets. The FGF-2 chromosome is located on the human chromosome at 4q28.1.

Biochem/physiol Actions
Fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF-2) plays a role in vertebrate embryonic and fetal development. It acts as an inducer of angiogenesis and is a well-known mitogen (in vitro) for a variety of cells including fibroblasts and vascular endothelial cells. FGF-2 exerts its biological activity through high-affinity tyrosine kinase receptors and low-affinity heparan sulfate proteoglycans present on the cell surface. It exhibits autocrine effects on various cell functions involved in angiogenesis such as proliferation, integrin expression, migration, and proteinase production. FGF-2 participates in the growth, migration, differentiation, and survival of a variety of cells. The binding of FGF-2 with heparin protects FGF-2 from denaturation by heat and acid and proteolytic cleavage.
