One example of the probable regulatory function of PolyPs in animals is the ability of these polymers when added to culture media to enhance the proliferation of normal human fibroblast cells. PolyPs also enhanced the mitogenic activities of acidic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-1) and basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF-2). A physical interaction between PolyP and FGF-2 was observed, which stabilized this protein. Furthermore, PolyPs facilitated the FGF-2 binding to its cell surface receptors (Shiba et al, 2003).
