Summary: Predicted to enable growth factor activity; type 1 fibroblast growth factor receptor binding activity; and type 2 fibroblast growth factor receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including dorsal/ventral pattern formation; fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling pathway; and positive regulation of MAPK cascade. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell differentiation; nervous system development; and positive regulation of cell division. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior macula; brain; midbrain hindbrain boundary neural rod; optic vesicle; and otic vesicle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 6 with or without anosmia and prostate carcinoma in situ. Orthologous to human FGF8 (fibroblast growth factor 8).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
