Human tumor cells synthesize an endothelial cell growth factor that is structurally related to basic fibroblast growth factor. 1986

M Klagsbrun, and J Sasse, and R Sullivan, and J A Smith

A human hepatoma cell line synthesizes, as evidenced by metabolic labeling, an endothelial cell mitogen that is found to be mostly cell associated. The hepatoma-derived growth factor (HDGF) has been purified to homogeneity by a combination of Bio-Rex 70, heparin-Sepharose, and reverse-phase chromatography; it is a cationic polypeptide with a molecular weight of about 18,500-19,000. HDGF is structurally related to basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF). Immunological analysis demonstrates that antiserum prepared against a synthetic peptide corresponding to the amino-terminal sequence of basic FGF cross-reacts with HDGF when analyzed by electrophoretic blotting and by immunoprecipitation. Sequence analysis of tryptic fragments demonstrates that HDGF contains sequences that are homologous to both amino-terminal and carboxyl-terminal sequences of basic FGF.

D005346 Fibroblast Growth Factors A family of small polypeptide growth factors that share several common features including a strong affinity for HEPARIN, and a central barrel-shaped core region of 140 amino acids that is highly homologous between family members. Although originally studied as proteins that stimulate the growth of fibroblasts this distinction is no longer a requirement for membership in the fibroblast growth factor family.
