NCIt definition : Fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (802 aa, 88 kDa) is encoded by the human FGFR4
gene. This protein plays a role in the regulation of lipid metabolism, bile acid biosynthesis,
glucose uptake, vitamin D metabolism and phosphate homeostasis.;
NCIt note : Encoded by human FGFR4 Gene (FGFR Family), 802-amino acid 87.9 kD (precursor) type
I membrane protein Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 4 is a receptor tyrosine kinase
with three extracellular Ig-like C2-type domains, a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain,
and 55% amino acid identity with FLG (FGFR1) and BEK. FGFR family amino acid sequence
is highly conserved; the extracellular domain interacts with FGFs, signaling downstream
cascades that influence mitogenesis and differentiation. FGFRs differ in ligand affinities
and tissue distribution. Predominantly expressed in lung, FGFR4 expression is distinct
from FLG, BEK, and FGFR3. Unlike FGFR1-3, FGFR4 IgIII domain C-terminal half does
not vary. Although function is unknown, FGFR4 preferentially binds acidic FGF and
FGF19; it does not bind to basic FGF. (from Swiss-Prot, OMIM, and NCI);
