A novel fibroblast growth factor-1 (FGF1) mutant that acts as an FGF antagonist.

Crosstalk between integrins and FGF receptors has been implicated in FGF signaling, but the specifics of the crosstalk are unclear. We recently discovered that 1) FGF1 directly binds to integrin alphavbeta3, 2) the integrin-binding site and FGF receptor (FGFR) binding site are distinct, and 3) the i...
