Acidic fibroblast growth factor is mitogenic for a variety
of different cell types and acts by stimulating mitogenesis or
inducing morphological changes and differentiation. The FIBP
protein is an intracellular protein that binds selectively to
acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF). It is postulated that FIBP
may be involved in the mitogenic action of aFGF. Two transcript
variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.1) Bailey, S.D., et al. Diabetes Care 33(10):2250-2253(2010)
