FGF4, also named FGF-K and K-FGF, belongs to the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. By signaling through the FGF R1c, 2c, 3c and 4 receptors, FGF-4 has functions that maintain a population of progenitor cells in the epiblast that generates mesoderm, and contribute to the stem cell population that is incorporated in the tailbud. It is also required for axial elongation of the mouse embryo after gastrulation. Mature human FGF-4 (71-206 a.a.) shares 91 %, 82 %, 94 % and 91 % a.a. identity with Mouse, rat, canine and bovine FGF-4. Additionally, FGF-4 shares about 30 % sequence identity with the prototypical members of the FGF family.

Human FGF-23 belongs to the FGF-19 subfamily which has three members FGF-19, 21, 23. All FGF family members are heparin binding growth factors with a core 120 amino acid (a.a.) FGF domain that allows for a common tertiary structure. They are classically considered to be paracrine factors and are known for their roles in tissue patterning and organogenesis during embryogenesis. By contrast, the FGF-19 subfamily has recently been shown to function in an endocrine manner. Members of this subfamily have poor ability of binding to heparin binding site which is a crucial factor in ligand-receptor complex formation. β-Klotho has been identified as co-factor required for FGF-19, 21, 23 signaling. It can obviously increase ligand-receptor affinity. FGF-23 is most highly expressed in bone, from which it circulates through the blood to regulate vitamin D and phosphate metabolism in kidney.

Fibroblast growth factor-21 (FGF-21) belongs to the large FGF family which is encoded by the FGF-21 gene and it is specifically induced by HMGCS2 activity. All FGF family members are heparin binding growth factors with a core 120 amino acid (a.a.) FGF domain that allows for a common tertiary structure and they are involved in a variety of biological processes including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. FGF-21 stimulates glucose uptake in differentiated adipocytes via the induction of glucose transporter SLC2A1/GLUT1 expression (but not SLC2A4/GLUT4 expression) and the activity depends on the presence of KLB. FGF-21 contains a 28 a.a. signal sequence and a 181 a.a. mature region but show limited binding to heparin. In addition, Mature human FGF-21 respectively shows 81 % a.a. identity to Mouse and rat FGF-21, and is known to be active on Mouse cells.
