FGFR3 is a tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as cell-surface receptor for fibroblast growth factors and plays an essential role in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis (1). It is required for normal skeleton development and promotes apoptosis in chondrocytes and cancer cell proliferation. FGFR3 protein contains three immunoglobulin-like domains, a single hydrophobic membrane-spanning segment and a cytoplasmic tyrosine kinase domain (1,2). It is alternatively spliced to produce three isoforms that are expressed in brain, kidney and testis. Defects in FGFR3 are associated with several diseases, including achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia (3,4). Mutations in FGFR3 are also a cause of some bladder and cervical cancers (5).
Anti-FGFR3 antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a 19 amino acid peptide near the C-terminus of human FGFR3.
