this is a chimeric fibroblast growth factor (see also: FGF), consisting mainly of FGF1 (see: aFGF) sequences and sequences from FGF2 (amino acid residues 65 to 81; see: bFGF) (Imamura and Tanahashi, 1996). The chimeric protein still binds heparin but does not require the addition of exogenous heparin to manifest its mitogenic activity (Imamura et al, 1995).
FGFC is a heparin-independent potent mitogen for liver parenchymal cells both in vitro and in vivo.
