Disclosed is a human Fibroblast growth factor-13 polypeptide and DNA (RNA) encoding such polypeptide. Also provided is a procedure for producing such polypeptide by recombinant techniques. Also disclosed are methods for utilizing such polypeptide for promoting wound healing for example as a result of burns and ulcers, to prevent neuronal damage associated with stroke and due to neuronal disorders and promote neuronal growth, and to prevent skin aging and hair loss, to stimulate angiogenesis, mesodermal induction in early embryos and limb regeneration. Antagonists against such polypeptides and their use as a therapeutic to prevent abnormal cellular proliferation, hyper- vascular diseases and epithelial lens cell proliferation are also disclosed. Diagnostic methods for detecting mutations in the coding sequence and alterations in the concentration of the polypeptides in a sample derived from a host are also disclosed.

La présente invention concerne un facteur de croissance des fibroblastes 13 polypeptidique humain, ainsi que l'ADN (ARN) codant ce polypeptide. Elle concerne également un procédé de production d'un tel polypeptide par des techniques de recombinaison, de même que des procédés d'utilisation de ce polypeptide pour favoriser la cicatrisation de lésions dues, par exemple, à des brûlures ou à des ulcères, prévenir toute atteinte neuronale due à une attaque ou à des troubles neuronaux, stimuler le développement neuronal, empêcher le vieillissement de la peau et la chute de cheveux, et stimuler l'angiogenèse, l'induction mésodermique chez les embryons au début de leur développement ou la régénération d'un membre. De plus, l'invention concerne des antagonistes à de tels polypeptides et leur application à des fins thérapeutiques, en vue de prévenir une prolifération anormale de cellules, des maladies liées à l'hypervascularisation ou la prolifération de cellules épithélales du cristallin. L'invention concerne en outre des méthodes de diagnostic permettant de détecter des mutations dans la séquence de codage et des modifications de la concentration des polypeptides dans un échantillon tiré d'un sujet hôte.
