Identification and functional characterization of the human and murine fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 promotersM Becker
Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Department of Pathology, School of Medicine, J W Goethe University, Theodor Stern Kai 7, Frankfurt, 60590, Germany
Biochem Biophys Res Commun 276:493-501. 2000..To study the transcriptional control, we isolated and characterized the promoter of human FGFR4. Two transcription initiation sites were identified...
Altered expressions of fibroblast growth factor receptors and alveolarization in neonatal mice exposed to 85% oxygenMin Soo Park
Department of Pediatrics, Columbus Children s Research Institute, Columbus, Ohio 43205, USA
Pediatr Res 62:652-7. 2007..The temporally and spatially specific alterations in the expressions of FGFR-3, FGFR-4, and FGF-7 in the mice exposed to hyperoxia may contribute to aberrant lung development...
Fibroblast growth factor receptor-4 splice variants cause deletion of a critical tyrosineW R van Heumen
Department of Physiology and Pharmacology, University of Queensland, Brisbane, Australia
IUBMB Life 48:73-8. 1999We have identified two novel isoforms of fibroblast growth factor receptor-4 (FGFR4). They result from alternative splicing of intron 17. Two transcripts, both slightly larger than the one coding for the known mouse FGFR4, are generated...
