Comment: FGF-19 is a fibroblast growth factor that mediates a wide range of mitogenic and cell survival activities. It is one of the endogenous ligands for fibroblast growth factor receptor 4 (FGFR4) [2]. FGF-19 is a major player in the gut-liver axis that maintains bile acid homeostasis, its expression is induced in the liver under cholestatic and cirrhotic conditions, and it is implicated in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
