Protein attributes

Sequence length	170 AA.
Sequence status	Fragments.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is not processed.
Protein existence	Evidence at protein level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	The heparin-binding growth factors are angiogenic agents in vivo and are potent mitogens for a variety of cell types in vitro. There are differences in the tissue distribution and concentration of these 2 growth factors.
Subunit structure	Monomer. Interacts with CSPG4 and FGFBP1. Found in a complex with FGFBP1, FGF1 and FGF2 By similarity.
Post-translational modification	The N-terminus of isoform 2 is blocked Probable.
Miscellaneous	This protein binds heparin more strongly than does aFGF By similarity.
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the heparin-binding growth factors family.
Sequence caution	The sequence AAA85394.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Frameshift at positions 77, 88, 93 and 149. The correction of the frameshifts allows to extend the similarity to the human sequence and is based on partial amino-acid sequencing.
