摘要: Fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4), a tyrosine kinase for FGFs, is involved in diverse cellular processes, including the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, metabolism, and bile acid biosynthesis. High activation FGFR4 strongly associated with amplification its specific ligand FGF19 many types solid tumors hematologic malignancies, where it acts as an oncogene driving cancer development progression. Currently, therapeutic evaluation FGFR4-specific inhibitors, such BLU9931 H3B-6527, animal models patients, are paving way to suppress hyperactive signaling cancer. This comprehensive review not only covers recent discoveries understanding function cancer, but also reveals implications applications regarding emerging anti-FGFR4 agents. Our aim pinpoint potential target identify new avenues advancing future research field.
