Weak to moderate cytoplasmic staining was observed in a majority of cancer tissues. Most prostate cancers showed distinct dot-like immunoreactivity. Skin and urothelial cancers were mainly negative.
GENE INFORMATION
Gene name
FIBP (HGNC Symbol)
Synonyms
FGFIBP
Description
Fibroblast growth factor (acidic) intracellular binding protein (HGNC Symbol)
Entrez gene summary
Acidic fibroblast growth factor is mitogenic for a variety of different cell types and acts by stimulating mitogenesis or inducing morphological changes and differentiation. The FIBP protein is an intracellular protein that binds selectively to acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF). It is postulated that FIBP may be involved in the mitogenic action of aFGF. Two transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
