Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21) is an endocrine metabolic regulator within the fibroblast growth factor family. Since its discovery, this protein has emerged as a cutting-edge research focus in the field of metabolic diseases due to its unique roles in glucose and lipid metabolism, energy homeostasis regulation, and improvement of insulin sensitivity.

The Fibroblast Growth Factors (FGFs) family is a group of signaling molecules that play crucial roles in cell proliferation, differentiation, migration, and tissue development, extensively involved in various biological processes such as embryonic morphogenesis, tissue homeostasis maintenance, and post-injury repair.
