Background :
The expression patterns of mRNAs encoding Fibroblast Growth Factor-7 (FGF-7) and its high affinity receptor suggested that FGF-7 signaling may play a role in regulating ureteric bud growth.t Results of these studies demonstrate that the developing ureteric bud and mature collecting system of FGF-7-null kidneys is markedly smaller than wild type. FGF-7 levels modulate the extent of ureteric bud growth during development and the number of nephrons that eventually form in the kidney.

Synonyms :
FGF-7; HBGF-7; KGF; FGF7
