Acidic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-acidic), also known as FGF-1, is a potent inducer of DNA synthesis, cell proliferation, and has chemotactic activities.  FGF-acidic regulates cardiogenesis through protein kinase C signaling.  FGF-acidic also functions as an insulin sensitizer and mediates adipose tissue remodeling.  High serum levels of FGF-acidic are associated with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), suggesting a pathogenic role of FGF-acidic during T2DM.
