Catalog No. PA1000-8062
1. Molecular structure of FGF15.
FGF15 is a protein composed of 212 amino acids, which is synthesized by the FGF15 gene in human cells. Its structure includes N-terminal signal peptide, FGF (fibroblast growth factor) basic domain, conserved paired regions, and C-terminal myosin domain. FGF15 is similar to other members of the FGF family in that it has potent growth factor activity.
2. Biological function of FGF15.
1.Regulatory role of bile acid synthesis.
FGF15 regulates the synthesis of bile acids mainly through binding to the liver receptor FGFR4. In hepatocytes, FGF15 can inhibit the expression of CYP7A1 gene and reduce the synthesis of bile acids, thereby affecting the circulation and metabolism of bile acids.
2.Modulation of fat metabolism.
Studies have shown that FGF15 can also affect lipid synthesis and metabolism in the body by regulating the expression of genes related to fat metabolism. FGF15 plays an important role in the occurrence and development of related diseases, such as obesity and hyperlipidemia.
3.Intestinal growth and regeneration.
FGF15 has the effect of promoting the growth and regeneration of intestinal cells, and can maintain the integrity and function of the intestinal mucosa by regulating the proliferation and renewal of intestinal epithelial cells.
3. Application prospect of FGF15 in diseases.
1.Gut-related disorders**.
Due to its promoting effect on intestinal growth and regeneration, FGF15 can be used as a potential drug for intestinal diseases. For example, FGF15 can be used for intestinal injury, inflammation and ulcers.
2.Metabolic diseases**.
Studies have shown that FGF15 plays a regulatory role in bile acid synthesis and lipid metabolism, making it a potential target for metabolic diseases such as obesity and hyperlipidemia.
3.Liver disease**.
Due to the interaction between FGF15 and liver receptors, it can regulate the synthesis and circulation of bile acids, and has a potential effect on some liver diseases such as cholestatic liver disease, fatty liver, etc.
Conclusion: As an important growth factor, FGF15 has important biological functions through its regulatory role in bile acid synthesis, fat metabolism and intestinal growth. In the future, FGF15 recombinant protein has broad application prospects in intestinal diseases, metabolic diseases and liver diseases, providing new ideas and methods for clinical development.
Therefore, the research and application of FGF15 recombinant protein will bring new breakthroughs to the development of the field of biology and provide more options and possibilities for diseases. It is hoped that the biological function of FGF15 can be further studied in the future and its potential for clinical application can be expanded.
