Antibody-induced dimerization of FGFR1 promotes receptor endocytosis independently of its kinase activity

Abstract Fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their plasma membrane-localized receptors (FGFRs) play a key role in the regulation of developmental processes and metabolism. Aberrant FGFR signaling is associated with the progression of serious metabolic diseases and human cancer. Binding of FGFs to F...
