Production of recombinant Xenopus fibroblast growth factor receptor-1 using a baculovirus expression system.

abstract：:Recent studies have established that polypeptide growth factors cause an elevation of the cytoplasmic pH (pHi) in cultured mammalian cells by stimulating Na+/H+ exchange. We show that vanadate, previously found to act as a mitogen for a number of cells, reversibly activates Na+/H+ exchange at micromolar concentrations...
