FGF domain, beta-trefoil fold, found in acidic and basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF) superfamily; The FGF superfamily includes FGF1-23 and similar proteins. FGFs are mitogens, which stimulate growth or differentiation of cells of mesodermal or neuroectodermal origin. They play essential roles in patterning and differentiation during vertebrate embryogenesis and have neurotrophic activities. FGFs have a high affinity for heparan sulfate proteoglycans and require heparan sulfate to activate one of four cell surface FGF receptors. Upon binding to FGF, the receptors dimerize, and their intracellular tyrosine kinase domains become active. The structure of FGFs is typical of the beta-trefoil fold, which is characterized by 12 beta strands folded into three similar trefoil subdomains (alpha, beta, and gamma) associated to give an overall structure with pseudo-3-fold symmetry.

FGF domain, beta-trefoil fold, found in fibroblast growth factor 1 (FGF1) and similar proteins; FGF1, also called acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF), or endothelial cell growth factor (ECGF), or heparin-binding growth factor 1 (HBGF1), plays an important role in the regulation of cell survival, cell division, angiogenesis, cell differentiation, and cell migration. It functions as potent mitogen in vitro. FGF-1 acts as a ligand for fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) and integrins. It interacts with FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, and FGFR4. Affinity between fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their receptors is increased by heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans that function as coreceptors.

FGF13, also called Fibroblast growth factor homologous factor 2 (FHF2), is a microtubule-binding protein which directly binds tubulin and is involved in both polymerization and stabilization of microtubules. Through its action on microtubules, it may participate in the refinement of axons by negatively regulating axonal and leading processes branching. FGF13 plays a crucial role in neuron polarization and migration in the cerebral cortex and the hippocampus. It may regulate voltage-gated sodium channels transport and function. It may also play a role in MAPK signaling. It is required for the development of axonal initial segment-targeting inhibitory GABAergic synapses made by chandelier neurons. FGF13 interacts with SCN1A, SCN5A, and SCN8A. It may also interact with SCN2A and SCN11A.
