The high molecular weight isoforms of basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2): an insight into an intracrine mechanism.

abstract：:The binding of phosphatidylinositol(4,5)-bisphosphate (PI(4,5)P(2)) to profilin at a region distinct from the actin interaction surface is demonstrated by experiments with covalently cross-linked profilin:beta-actin. The result is in agreement with observations made with several mutant profilins and provides strong ev...
