Abstract

Methods are provided to regulate the trafficking of nuclear proteins, including the high molecular weight forms of FGF-2, to the nucleus. A nuclear trafficking component, which is approximately 29 kD, is identified as binding to and regulating nuclear localization of FGF-2. Inhibitors of the binding of the 29 kD component and FGF-2 are provided.
