Structure and Expression of the Rat mRNA Encoding a Novel Member of the Fibroblast Growth Factor Family
Open accessAbstract
We isolated the cDNA encoding a novel member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family from rat embryos by homology-based polymerase chain reaction. The FGF-related cDNA encodes a protein of 215 amino acids (approximately 24 kDa), which has a conserved approximately 120-amino acid core with approximately 30-60% amino acid sequence identity with the FGF family. This protein with a hydrophobic amino terminus appears to be a secreted protein. The cDNA was translated in a coupled in vitro transcription-translation system. The molecular mass of the translation product was observed to be approximately 26 kDa. The expression of the FGF-related mRNA in the rat embryo and adult tissues was determined by Northern analysis and in situ hybridization. The mRNA was expressed in several discrete regions of the embryo. In adult tissues, the mRNA was preferentially expressed in the lung. The expression profile of the FGF-related mRNA was different from those of other FGF family mRNAs. As this protein is the 10th documented protein related to FGFs, we tentatively term this protein FGF-10.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
