FGFBP3 belongs to the fibroblast growth factor-binding protein family. The fibroblast growth factor-binding protein (FGF-BP) binds and activates FGF-1 and FGF-2, thereby contributing to tumor angiogenesis. Expression of FGF-BP increases after injury to murine and human skin, in particular in keratinocytes. This upregulation is most likely achieved by major keratinocyte mitogens present at the wound site.

Most importantly, FGF-BP interacts with FGF-7, FGF-10, and with the recently identified FGF-22, and enhances the activity of low concentrations of ligand. Due to the important functions of FGF-7 and FGF-10 for repair of injured epithelia, upregulation of FGF-BP expression after injury stimulates FGF activity at the wound site, thus enhancing the process of epithelial repair.
