This gene encodes a secreted fibroblast growth factor carrier protein. The encoded protein plays a critical role in cell proliferation, differentiation and migration by binding to fibroblast growth factors and potentiating their biological effects on target cells. The encoded protein may also play a role in tumor growth as an angiogenic switch molecule, and expression of this gene has been associated with several types of cancer including pancreatic and colorectal adenocarcinoma. A pseudogene of this gene is also located on the short arm of chromosome 4. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2011].

Fibroblast growth factor-binding protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGFBP1 gene.

FGFBP1, or HBP17, binds to both acidic FGF1 and basic FGF2 fibroblast growth factors in a reversible manner. It also binds to perlecan (HSPG2).[supplied by OMIM]
