FGFBP2 Gene

Name fibroblast growth factor binding protein 2
Description This gene encodes a member of the fibroblast growth factor binding protein family. The encoded protein is a serum protein that is selectively secreted by cytotoxic lymphocytes and may be involved in cytotoxic lymphocyte-mediated immunity. An increase in the amount of gene product may be associated with atopic asthma and mild extrinsic asthma.[provided by RefSeq, Jan 2025]
Summary
{"type": "root", "children": [{"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n Fibroblast growth factor‐binding protein 2 (FGFBP2) is emerging as a multifunctional secreted protein that modulates fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling by binding to FGFs and facilitating their delivery to cognate receptors. In several independent studies, alterations in FGFBP2 expression or sequence have been linked to diverse pathological states. For example, differential expression of FGFBP2 in peripheral blood has been associated with acute myocardial infarction diagnosis and with variability in beta‐blocker responsiveness, suggesting that its transcript levels may serve as a circulatory biomarker in cardiovascular disease."}, {"type": "fg", "children": [{"type": "fg_f", "ref": "1"}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}]}, {"type": "t", "text": "\n "}, {"type": "p", "children": [{"type": "t", "text": "\n In the context of immune regulation, genetic studies have identified deleterious variants in FGFBP2 in patients with IgG4‐related disease, where altered protein structure is linked to increased numbers of circulating cytotoxic CD4+ T lymphocytes and plasmablasts.
