Abstract
Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) are a family of an-with the highest affinity to heparan sulfate. These datagiogenic and mitogenic proteins that promote cell divi-suggest the triangular topology of the GAG bindingsion. The binding of FGFs to the heparan sulfate ofsite in FGF is critical for its interaction with heparancell-surface-bound proteoglycans appears to be criti-sulfate.
