The FGFR-Like Protein 1 (FGFRL1) Polyclonal Antibody (PAC016344) is a valuable tool for researchers studying the function of FGFRL1, a member of the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) family. This antibody, generated in rabbits, is highly specific and reactive with human samples, making it suitable for Western blot applications. By binding to the FGFRL1 protein, this antibody enables accurate detection and analysis in various cell types, making it an essential tool for studies in developmental biology, cancer research, and other areas where FGFRL1 is implicated.
FGFRL1, also known as FGFR5, is a unique member of the FGFR family with distinct functions in cell signaling and development. It has been shown to play a role in various processes, such as cell proliferation, differentiation, and migration. Research has also suggested a potential involvement of FGFRL1 in cancer progression, making it a promising target for therapeutic interventions. By investigating the function and regulation of FGFRL1, researchers can gain valuable insights into its role in health and disease, paving the way for novel treatment strategies.

Background:
The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) family, where amino acid, sequence is highly conserved between members and throughout evolution. FGFR family members differ from one another in their ligand affinities and tissue distribution. A full-length representative protein would consist of an extracellular region, composed of three immunoglobulin-like domains, a single hydrophobic membrane-spanning segment and a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain. The extracellular portion of the protein interacts with fibroblast growth factors, setting in motion a cascade of downstream signals, ultimately influencing mitogenesis and differentiation. A marked difference between this gene product and the other family members is its lack of a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain. The result is a transmembrane receptor that could interact with other family members and potentially inhibit signaling. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same isoform have been found for this gene.
