'''Fibroblast growth factors''' (FGF) are involved in angiogenesis, wound-healing and embryonic development.  FGF is heparin-binding protein.  FGF require heparan sulfate (HS) to activate the four FGF cell-surface receptors (FGFR).  In vertebrates there are 23 members in the FGF family.  FGF signaling is important in the pathogenesis of a variety of tumor types.<br />
