Glypican-4 is an FGF2-binding heparan sulfate proteoglycan expressed in neural precursor cells.

Hagihara K, Watanabe K, Chun J, Yamaguchi Y

FGF2 is a crucial mitogen for neural precursor cells in the developing cerebral cortex. Heparan sulfate proteoglycans (HSPGs) are thought to play a role in cortical neurogenesis by regulating the action of FGF2 on neural precursor cells. In this article, we present data indicating that glypican-4 (K-glypican), a GPI-anchored cell surface HSPG, is involved in these processes. In the developing ... [more]
