FGF

Discovery of the Key to Pluripotency

Beta tubulin III, also known as Tuj-1, is a class III member of the beta tubulin protein family. Beta tubulins are one of two structural components that form our microtubule network.

The vertebrate fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) family is an important group of proteins involved in embryonic development and the growth and proliferation of adult cells. Mutations in FGFR proteins can lead to pathologies including bone or limb defects and various forms of cancer. FGFR proteins are receptor tyrosine kinases that, upon ligand binding, dimerize and signal through the MAPK and PLCγ pathways.
