A Hydrophobic Region Locating at the Center of Fibroblast Growth Factor-9 Is Crucial for Its Secretion

Fibroblast growth factor (FGF)-9 is a glycosylated neurotrophic polypeptide highly expressed in brain. The mechanism for its secretion from expressing cells is unclear, because its primary structure lacks a cleavable signal sequence. We, therefore, investigated the mechanism and structural requireme...
