FGFR1/2/3/4 Mutant Cell Panel Screening Service
Introduction
Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptors (FGFRs) are vital components of cellular signaling, encompassing four main types: FGFR1, FGFR2, FGFR3, and FGFR4. These transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinases are intrinsically involved in key biological processes such as cell proliferation, differentiation, angiogenesis, and development. Their activation involves binding with fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) which leads to dimerization, trans-autophosphorylation, and subsequent initiation of downstream signaling pathways, including RAS/MAPK and PI3K/AKT pathways. Physiological and pathological variants in these pathways significantly influence cellular behavior and are pivotal in oncogenesis across various cancers, especially through mutations and gene amplifications. In the context of cancer treatment, FGFR-targeted therapies have emerged as promising interventions. FGFR inhibitors have demonstrated efficacy in clinical trials, represent significant advancements in targeting FGFR mutations.
