| Research Abstract |
FGF, which is a family of proteins secreted from cells to convey cellular information, plays a indispensable role in skeletal development. Cells that received FGF transmit its information into the cells mainly through two proteins, ERK and STAT1. Crossing of mice genetically lacking either FGF or STAT1 demonstrated a possibility that STAT1 is important for formation of the skeletons of the lower jaw. In addition, I revealed that intracellular distribution of a protein, Cfr, is important for signal transduction by FGF.
