Function

Plays an important role in the regulation of cell proliferation and cell differentiation. Required for normal regulation of the hair growth cycle. Functions as an inhibitor of hair elongation by promoting progression from anagen, the growth phase of the hair follicle, into catagen the apoptosis-induced regression phase (By similarity).

Activity summary

FGF5 also known as fibroblast growth factor 5 is a protein involved in various cellular processes with a molecular mass of approximately 29 kDa. It is part of the FGF family which includes at least 22 members playing roles in cell growth differentiation and regulation. FGF5 expression occurs mainly in hair follicles skeletal muscles and the central nervous system. The protein has been identified in epithelial cells and the stromal compartment surrounding hair follicles.

Biological function summary

FGF5 functions as a signaling molecule that influences hair growth cycle regulation. It is an important player in the transition of hair follicles from the anagen (growth) phase to the catagen (regression) phase. FGF5 does not act alone but interacts with various cellular receptors particularly FGFR1 and FGFR2 which facilitate its role in hair cycle modulation. It is not typically part of a stable multi-protein complex but works as a soluble factor influencing nearby cell behavior.

Pathways

FGF5 engages with signaling cascades such as the MAPK/ERK pathway and the PI3K/AKT pathway which are significant for cell proliferation and survival. FGF5 can modulate these pathways by binding to FGFR1 and FGFR2 receptors leading to downstream signaling that affects cell behavior. These pathways illustrate its involvement with several other FGF family members such as FGF7 and FGF10 showcasing a broad effect on cellular dynamics and development.

Associated diseases and disorders

FGF5 has been linked to conditions such as congenital hypotrichosis and alopecia where abnormalities in hair growth cycles occur. Dysfunctions in FGF5 signaling can lead to prolonged anagen phases or premature catagen transitions. Additionally FGF5 has connections to cancer development due to its role in cell proliferation and differentiation; aberrations in FGF5 activity can contribute to tumorigenesis. Although not directly linked proteins like FGFR1 can mediate these effects increasing the complexity of its involvement in disease progression.

    ab88118 staining FGF5 in NIH3T3 cells. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min), permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1%PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at 4°C with ab88118 at 1µg/ml and Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Loading Control ab7291, Mouse monoclonal [DM1A] to alpha Tubulin - Loading Control. Cells were then incubated with Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) preadsorbed ab150081, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) preadsorbed ab150120, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Mouse IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in pseudocolour red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

    Image was acquired with a high-content analyser (Operetta CLS, Perkin Elmer) and a maximum intensity projection of confocal sections is shown.
