'''Fibroblast growth factor 1''' '''(FGF-1)''' also known as '''acidic fibroblast growth factor''' ('''aFGF'''), is a [[growth factor]] and [[signaling protein]] encoded by the ''FGF1'' [[gene]].<ref name="pmid1697263">{{cite journal | vauthors = Dionne CA, Crumley G, Bellot F, Kaplow JM, Searfoss G, Ruta M, Burgess WH, Jaye M, Schlessinger J | title = Cloning and expression of two distinct high-affinity receptors cross-reacting with acidic and basic fibroblast growth factors | journal = The EMBO Journal | volume = 9 | issue = 9 | pages = 2685–92 | date = September 1990 | pmid = 1697263 | pmc = 551973 | doi =  10.1002/j.1460-2075.1990.tb07454.x}}</ref><ref name="pmid3523756">{{cite journal | vauthors = Jaye M, Howk R, Burgess W, Ricca GA, Chiu IM, Ravera MW, O'Brien SJ, Modi WS, Maciag T, Drohan WN | title = Human endothelial cell growth factor: cloning, nucleotide sequence, and chromosome localization | journal = Science | volume = 233 | issue = 4763 | pages = 541–5 | date = August 1986 | pmid = 3523756 | doi = 10.1126/science.3523756 | bibcode = 1986Sci...233..541J }}</ref>  It is synthesized as a 155 amino acid polypeptide, whose mature form is a non-[[glycosylated]] 17-18 kDa protein.

FGF-1 has no definitive signal sequence and thus is not secreted through classical pathways, but it does appear to form a disulfide linked dimer inside cells that associate with a complex of proteins at the cell membrane (including [[S100A13]] and [[Synaptotagmin 1|Syt1]]) which then help flip it through the membrane to the exterior of the cell.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Tarantini F, Gamble S, Jackson A, Maciag T | title = The cysteine residue responsible for the release of fibroblast growth factor-1 residues in a domain independent of the domain for phosphatidylserine binding | journal = The Journal of Biological Chemistry | volume = 270 | issue = 49 | pages = 29039–42 | date = December 1995 | pmid = 7493920 | doi = 10.1074/jbc.270.49.29039 | url = http://www.jbc.org/content/270/49/29039.long | doi-access = free }}</ref><ref name="Prudovsky&Maciag">{{cite journal | vauthors = Prudovsky I, Bagala C, Tarantini F, Mandinova A, Soldi R, Bellum S, Maciag T | title = The intracellular translocation of the components of the fibroblast growth factor 1 release complex precedes their assembly prior to export | journal = The Journal of Cell Biology | volume = 158 | issue = 2 | pages = 201–8 | date = July 2002 | pmid = 12135982 | pmc = 2173119 | doi = 10.1083/jcb.200203084 | url = http://jcb.rupress.org/content/158/2/201.long }}</ref>  Once in the reducing conditions of the surrounding tissue, the dimer dissociates into [[monomer]]ic FGF1 that can enter systemic circulation or be sequestered in tissues binding to [[heparan sulfate proteoglycan]]s of the [[extracellular matrix]]. FGF1 can then bind to and exert its effects via specific [[Fibroblast growth factor receptor|fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR)]] proteins which themselves constitute a family of closely related molecules.<ref name="pmid 24780002">{{cite journal | vauthors = Coleman SJ, Bruce C, Chioni AM, Kocher HM, Grose RP | title = The ins and outs of fibroblast growth factor receptor signalling | journal = Clinical Science | volume = 127 | issue = 4 | pages = 217–31 | date = August 2014 | pmid = 24780002 | doi = 10.1042/CS20140100 }}</ref>

In addition to its extracellular activity, FGF1 can also function intracellularly. The protein has a [[nuclear localization sequence]] (NLS) but the route that FGF1 takes to get to the nucleus is unclear and it appears that some sort of cell surface receptor binding is necessary, followed by its internalization and translocation to the nucleus whereupon it can interact with nuclear isoforms of FGFRs.<ref name="pmid 24780002" />  This is different from [[FGF2]] which also can activate nuclear FGFRs but has splicing variants of the protein that never leave the cell and go directly to the nucleus.{{citation needed|date=February 2024}}

== Function ==

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. This protein functions as a modifier of endothelial cell migration and proliferation, as well as an angiogenic factor. It acts as a mitogen for a variety of [[mesoderm]]- and neuroectoderm-derived cells in vitro, thus is thought to be involved in [[organogenesis]]. Three alternatively spliced variants encoding different isoforms have been described.<ref>{{cite web | title = Entrez Gene: FGF1 fibroblast growth factor 1 (acidic)| url = https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=gene&Cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=2246}}</ref>

FGF1 is multifunctional with many reported effects.  For one example, in mice with diet-induced diabetes that is an experimental equivalent of type 2 diabetes in humans, a single injection of the FGF1 protein is enough to restore blood sugar levels to a healthy range for > 2 days.<ref>{{cite journal | vauthors = Suh JM, Jonker JW, Ahmadian M, Goetz R, Lackey D, Osborn O, Huang Z, Liu W, Yoshihara E, van Dijk TH, Havinga R, Fan W, Yin YQ, Yu RT, Liddle C, Atkins AR, Olefsky JM, Mohammadi M, Downes M, Evans RM | title = Endocrinization of FGF1 produces a neomorphic and potent insulin sensitizer | journal = Nature | volume = 513 | issue = 7518 | pages = 436–9 | date = September 2014 | pmid = 25043058 | pmc = 4184286 | doi = 10.1038/nature13540 | bibcode = 2014Natur.513..436S }}*{{lay source |template = cite web|url = http://www.salk.edu/news/pressrelease_details.php?press_id=2037|title = One injection stops diabetes in its tracks|date= July 16, 2014 |website = Salk Institute }}</ref>
