proteins bind to cell receptors, regulating growth and development
The FGF signaling pathway, also known as the Fibroblast Growth Factor signaling pathway, is a crucial biological system that involves a group of proteins called fibroblast growth factors (FGFs). These proteins bind to specific receptors on the surface of cells, triggering a cascade of events inside the cell that regulate various processes such as cell growth, development, wound healing, and tissue repair. This pathway is essential for normal development and maintenance of tissues, and its dysregulation can lead to diseases like cancer and developmental disorders.
