Functional context (as provided): Tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as cell-surface receptor for fibroblast growth factors and plays a role in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation and migration, and in regulation of lipid metabolism, bile acid biosynthesis, glucose uptake, vitamin D metabolism and phosphate homeostasis. Required for normal down-regulation of the expression of CYP7A1, the rate-limiting enzyme in bile acid synthesis, in response to FGF19. Phosphorylates PLCG1 and FRS2. Ligand binding leads to the activation of several signaling cascades. Activation of PLCG1 leads to the production of the cellular signaling molecules diacylglycerol and inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate. Phosphorylation of FRS2 triggers recruitment of GRB2, GAB1, PIK3R1 and SOS1, and mediates activation of RAS, MAPK1\/ERK2, MAPK3\/ERK1 and the MAP kinase signaling pathway, as well as of the AKT1 signaling pathway. Promotes SRC-dependent phosphorylation of the matrix protease MMP14 and its lysosomal degradation. FGFR4 signaling is down-regulated by receptor internalization and degradation; MMP14 promotes internalization and degradation of FGFR4. Mutations that lead to constitutive kinase activation or impair normal FGFR4 inactivation lead to aberrant signaling. . Reported cellular localization context: Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein. Endosome. Endoplasmic reticulum. Internalized from the cell membrane to recycling endosomes, and from there back to the cell membrane. Tissue expression notes (as provided): Expressed in gastrointestinal epithelial cells, pancreas, and gastric and pancreatic cancer cell lines. .\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eResearch relevance and current trends\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eResearch context keywords from the source record include: Angiogenesis,Cancer,Cardiovascular,Cell Biology,Cell Type Marker,Cell Type Markers,Growth Factors,Growth Factors\/Hormones,Neural Stem Cells,Neuroscience,Signal Transduction,Stem Cells,Surface Molecules,Tags \u0026amp; Cell Markers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent studies often focus on connecting target abundance\/localization to pathway perturbations across models, tissues, and cell states.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eQuantitative and multiplexed assays (e.g., imaging + immunoblot panels) are commonly used to compare phenotypes across conditions and time-courses.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eCommon research applications\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWestern blotting (WB):\u003c\/strong\u003e assess relative target abundance across samples, treatments, or time-points.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003eWorkflow ideas (metafield): Validate FGFR4 antibody specificity using KO\/KD control samples (WB\/IF\/IHC as appropriate), Detect FGFR4 expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Compare relative FGFR4 levels across experimental conditions (dose\/time-course) using antibody-based readouts\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eNotes for experimental interpretation\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eConsider isoforms and post-translational modifications (PTMs) that may shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApparent molecular weight may vary by sample type and processing (observed MW: 88 kDa; calculated MW: 87954 MW).\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControl concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype, KO\/KD samples) and orthogonal validation when feasible.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eAdditional product details (from the source record)\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMolecular weight (observed):\u003c\/strong\u003e 88 kDa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCellular localization (provided):\u003c\/strong\u003e Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.
