SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	extracellular
	plasma membrane
text	secreted

basic FUNCTION	protecting both FGF molecules from acid inactivation
	inhibiting the mitogenic activity of FGF1
	could influence cancer growth and tissue remodeling via its interaction with perlecan (HSPG2)
	its overexpression after injury stimulates FGF activity at the wound site, thus enhancing the process of epithelial repair
	secreted carrier proteins that release fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) from the extracellular matrix storage and thus enhance FGF activity
	can be rate-limiting for tumor growth and serves as an angiogenic switch molecule
	involved in the process of epithelial repair
	can release FGFs from their local extracellular matrix storage, chaperone them to their cognate receptors, and thus modulate FGF signaling
	play a significant role in fine-tuning the complex FGF signaling network during distinct phases of embryonic development
	chaperone FGFs stored in the extracellular matrix to their receptor, and can thus modulate FGF signaling
	can enhance FGF effects that are required for the healing and repair of injured tissues

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

signal transduction

a component

part of KLF5-FGFBP1-pERK-DUSP1 signaling axis, that may provide new therapeutic targets for invasive breast cancer

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	binding to FGF1 or FGF2 in a reversible manner
	binding to HSPG2
	interacts with FGF7, FGF10, and with the recently identified FGF22
	interacting with KLF5 (may promote breast cancer cell proliferation at least partially through directly activating the FGFBP1 mRNA transcription)
	FGFBP1 was a direct transcriptional target of SOX12
