Background
Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 (FGF21) is a growth factor that belongs to the FGF family. Proteins of this family possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities and are involved in a variety of biological processes including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. FGFs act through a family of four FGF receptors. Binding is complicated and requires both interaction of the FGF molecule with an FGF receptor and binding to heparin through an heparin binding domain. Endocrine FGFs lack a heparin binding domain and thus can be released into the circulation. FGF21 action through one of the FGF21 receptors thus requires interaction with a co-receptor, designated β-klotho.
