FGF-1 (acidic FGF) is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family, which binds heparin. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities, and are involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion.
