Binding of FGF family members together with heparan sulfate proteoglycan or heparin promotes receptor dimerization and autophosphorylation on tyrosine residues. FGFR-4 mutations that lead to constitutive kinase activation or impair normal FGFR-4 inactivation lead to aberrant signaling. FGFR-4 is highly homologous among the species, rhesus macaque FGFR-4 is 97% identical on amino acid level.\u003cbr\u003e\nREACH authorisation\u003cbr\u003e\nAbcam has not and does not intend to apply for the REACH Authorisation of customers' uses of products that contain European Authorisation list (Annex XIV) substances.\u003cbr\u003e\nIt is the responsibility of our customers to check the necessity of application of REACH Authorisation, and any other relevant authorisations, for their intended uses.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eProperties and Storage Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nShipped at conditions-Blue Ice, Appropriate short-term storage conditions-+4°C, Appropriate long-term storage conditions-+4°C, Storage information-+4°C\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementary Information:\u003cbr\u003e\nThis supplementary information is collated from multiple sources and compiled automatically.\u003cbr\u003e\nFGFR4 or fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 is a receptor tyrosine kinase weighing approximately 110 kDa. This protein plays a role in cellular processes by binding to fibroblast growth factors. FGFR4 is expressed in many tissues including muscle liver and the developing epidermis. It is known by alternate names like CD334 or FRFR4. This receptor's activation leads to receptor dimerization and autophosphorylation triggering downstream signaling pathways that affect cell proliferation differentiation and migration.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nFGFR4 influences various developmental and metabolic processes. It is important in limb and skeletal development epithelial cell morphogenesis and muscle fiber regeneration. FGFR4 often partners with heparan sulfate proteoglycans to form a signaling complex which defines the specificity and regulation of fibroblast growth factor signaling. The receptor's interaction with other proteins like FRFR4 and 5b5 further modulates its biological activity.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nFGFR4 participates in the MAPK and PI3K-Akt signaling pathways both important for regulating cell survival and growth. These pathways allow FGFR4 to connect with several other proteins such as FGFR1 and BLU-554. FGFR4's activation within these pathways helps determine cellular responses to hormonal and mitogenic signals further influencing tissue homeostasis and repair mechanisms.\u003cbr\u003e\nFGFR4 is linked to certain cancers including hepatocellular carcinoma and colorectal cancer notable in cell lines like HCT116 and others. Overexpression or mutations in FGFR4 can drive tumor progression promoting uncontrolled growth and metastasis. FGFR4's relation to other key proteins such as FRAF and 19h3 highlights its role in pathogenesis making it a potential target for therapeutic interventions. Studies involving FGFR4 ELISA kits enhance understanding of its role in disease development and progression.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46843577401513,"sku":"ab256399","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab256399","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
