NCIt definition : Fibroblast growth factor 1 (17 aa, 155 kDa) is encoded by the human FGF1 gene. This
protein plays a role in cell proliferation, angiogenesis, cell differentiation, and
cell migration.;
NCIt note : Fibroblast growth factor 1 lacks a cleavable signal sequence; it is transported through
the cytoplasm to the cell membrane and then secreted by a non-classical pathway that
requires Cu2 ions and protein S100-A13. (UniProt);
