Fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 (FGFR1)

Tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as cell-surface receptor for fibroblast growth factors and plays an essential role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, migration and differentiation. Required for normal mesoderm patterning and proper axial organization during embryonic development, normal skeletogenesis and regular development of the gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH) neuronal system.

Ligand binding contributes to the activation of several signaling cascades. Activation of PLCG1 contributes to the creation of the cellular signaling molecules diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate.
