Description
FGFR4, as known as fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 isoform 1, is a glycosylated transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase. This protein is widely expressed during embryonic development and in adult liver, kidney, and lung. Also, it is associates with beta-Klotho and sulfated glycosaminoglycans, and these interactions increase the affinity of FGFR4 for its ligands as well as its signaling capacity. This receptor signaling is additionally required for skeletal muscle development in limbs. Recombinant human FGFR4, fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in insect cell and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques
