Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) 21 is a natural hormone that modulates glucose, lipid, and energy metabolism. Previously, we engineered an Fc fusion FGF21 variant with two mutations, Fc-FGF21(RG), to extend the half-life and reduce aggregation and in

The endocrine fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) requires both fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) and β-Klotho for signaling. In this study, we sought to understand the inter-molecular physical interactions in the FGF21/FGFR/β-Klotho complex

FGF21 is a member of a unique subfamily of fibroblast growth factors that function as endocrine hormones and regulate a variety of metabolic activities. Unlike paracrine FGFs, FGF21 does not bind heparin and requires βKlotho as a co-receptor to acti

OBJECTIVE—Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) has emerged as an important metabolic regulator of glucose and lipid metabolism. The aims of the current study are to evaluate the role of FGF21 in energy metabolism and to provide mechanistic insights

Screening protein molecules for a particular biological activity sometimes requires the purification of hundreds of proteins. Often many constructs, from several 100 to a 1000, are screened before the lead candidate is found. What is needed is a rapi

Leptin efficacy was compared in obese and lean female CD-1 mice. Body weights in these 10- to 12-mo-old mice ranged from 29.7 to 62.0 g, and leptin levels correlated with body weight. Mice from the lean and obese ends of the weight distribution were

Megakaryocyte growth and development factor (MGDF) is a potent inducer of megakaryopoiesis in vitro and thrombopoiesis in vivo. The effects of MGDF appear to be lineage-selective, making this cytokine an ideal candidate for use in alleviating clinica

C57BL/6J mice with a mutation in the obese (ob) gene are obese, diabetic, and exhibit reduced activity, metabolism, and body temperature. Daily intraperitoneal injection of these mice with recombinant OB protein lowered their body weight, percent bod

Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) is a promising drug candidate for the treatment of type 2 diabetes. However, the use of wild type native FGF21 is challenging due to several limitations. Among these are its short half-life, its susceptibility to i

Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21), a hormone with short half-life, has consistently shown strong pharmacological efficacy. We first assessed the efficacy of murine recombinant FGF21 in C57BL6 lean mice for 5 wk. We then generated a long-acting FGF2
