Abstract: Fibroblast growth factor is a large protein family, human acidic fibroblast growth factor is an important member of it, which has extensive biological functions and potential clinical value. In this paper we review the progress in the study on the structure, function and genetic engineering of human acidic fibroblast growth factor. Some prospects and problems about its application are also discussed.

Key words: Human acidic fibroblast growth factor, Physical and chemical structure, Biological function, Clinical application, Genetic engineering
