Background: FGFR3

Fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGF R3), also known as CEK2 and CD333, is an approximately 120 kDa transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase that plays a role in skeletal development and tumorigenesis (1). Mature mouse FGF R3 (IIIc) consists of a 349 amino acid (aa) extracellular domain (ECD) with three Ig-like domains, a 21 aa transmembrane segment, and a 411 aa cytoplasmic domain that contains the tyrosine kinase domain (2). Alternative splicing generates an additional isoform (IIIb) with a substitution in the third Ig-like domain (3). Within the ECD, mouse FGF R3 (IIIb) shares 91% and 98% aa sequence identity with comparable isoforms of human and rat FGF R3, respectively. The FGF R3 (IIIb) triggers cell proliferation in response to FGF acidic and FGF-9, while FGF R3 (IIIc) shows a wider selectivity that includes FGF acidic, FGF basic, FGF-4, -8, -9, -17, -18, -19, and -20 (4, 5). Ligand binding induces receptor dimerization and acitvation of the tyrosine kinase domain (1). FGF mediated activation of FGF R3 is dependent on the presence of heparan sulfate proteoglycans (6). FGF R3 functions as a negative regulator of endochondral bone growth, and FGF R3 mutations are associated with chondrodysplasia in humans (7, 8). In addition, the development of many cancers is associated with mutations or dysregulation of FGF R3 which can result in constitutive receptor activation (1).
