'''Fibroblast growth factor receptors''' (FGFR) are receptors which bind fibroblast growth factors (FGF). Each FGFR can activate several FGFs. Five FGFRs have been identified so far. FGFRs differ in their ligand specificity and tissue distribution. The binding of FGF to FGFR starts a cascade of signaling which influences mitogenesis and differentiation<ref>PMID:8713482</ref>.
