Possible Interaction: Oligosaccharides and Fibroblast Growth Factor, Basic

Research Papers that Mention the Interaction

A library of heparin oligosaccharides with uniform composition but variable length was generated [general formula [IdoA(2S)-GlcNS(6S)n], and oligosaccharides of defined lengths were tested for their ability to inhibit the biological activity of bFGF.
This study shows that the length of an oligosaccharide determines its ability to block the biological activity of bFGF.

Oligosaccharides based on heparin structures, as small as six sugar residues, have been demonstrated to bind to bFGF and block its activity, while larger structures (> 10 sugar residues) tend to potentiate bFGF.
