| Background: |
Fibroblast growth factor 8 (FGF-8) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGF8 gene. The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF proteins are multifunctional signaling molecules with broad mitogenic and cell survival activity, playing critical roles in embryonic development, cell proliferation, morphogenesis, tissue repair, and tumor progression. FGF8 signals primarily through fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1) to trigger downstream pathways involved in neural and limb development. |
