{"symbol":"FGFBP1","synonyms":["FGFBP","HBP17","FGFBP-1","FGF-BP1","FGF-BP"],"name":"fibroblast growth factor binding protein 1","description":"This gene encodes a secreted fibroblast growth factor carrier protein. The encoded protein plays a critical role in cell proliferation, differentiation and migration by binding to fibroblast growth factors and potentiating their biological effects on target cells. The encoded protein may also play a role in tumor growth as an angiogenic switch molecule, and expression of this gene has been associated with several types of cancer including pancreatic and colorectal adenocarcinoma. A pseudogene of this gene is also located on the short arm of chromosome 4.
