Supplementary information

FGF21 or fibroblast growth factor 21 is an important metabolic regulator. It is a member of the fibroblast growth factor family but unlike many others FGF21 functions mainly in endocrine signaling. The molecular weight of FGF21 is approximately 22 kDa. This protein is expressed in tissues such as the liver adipose tissue and pancreas. Because of its endocrine roles FGF21 travels through the bloodstream to exert its functions on distant organs.
Biological function summary

FGF21 influences glucose and lipid metabolism. It does not act as part of a larger protein complex. Instead it directly affects metabolic processes enhancing insulin sensitivity and lipid oxidation while reducing body weight. These actions help maintain energy balance and homeostasis making FGF21 an important player in metabolic control.

Pathways

FGF21 plays a significant role in the insulin signaling pathway and PPARγ coactivator 1α (PGC-1α) pathway. These pathways regulate cellular energy metabolism and mitochondrial biogenesis respectively. FGF21 interacts with other molecules such as PPARα (peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor alpha) to exert its effects demonstrating its integration into broader metabolic networks. FGF21's interaction with these pathways highlights its function in energy utilization and storage.

FGF21 has connections to conditions such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. Its role in improving insulin sensitivity and promoting lipid oxidation makes it a molecule of interest in combating metabolic syndrome. FGF21 also has a relationship with hepatic proteins such as insulin receptor substrates (IRS) which play roles in liver functioning. Understanding these relationships offers insights into potential therapeutic strategies targeting metabolic disorders.

General info

Function

Stimulates glucose uptake in differentiated adipocytes via the induction of glucose transporter SLC2A1/GLUT1 expression (but not SLC2A4/GLUT4 expression). Activity requires the presence of KLB. Regulates systemic glucose homeostasis and insulin sensitivity.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the heparin-binding growth factors family.
