Background: The protein FGFR1 is highly conserved between members and throughout evolution. This particular family member of FGFR1 binds both acidic and basic fibroblast growth factors and is involved in limb induction. Mutations of FGFR1 protein have been associated with Pfeiffer syndrome, Jackson-Weiss syndrome, Antley-Bixler syndrome, osteoglophonic dysplasia, squamous cell lung cancer and autosomal dominant Kallmann syndrome.
Immunogen: A synthetic peptide from the internal region of FGFR1 which includes the mutation of P252S, human origin.
