Summary
Predicted to enable fibroblast growth factor receptor binding activity and growth factor activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including chondroblast differentiation; positive regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; and regulation of endothelial cell chemotaxis to fibroblast growth factor. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including cellular response to leukemia inhibitory factor; positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and skeletal system morphogenesis. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and extracellular space. Orthologous to human FGF4 (fibroblast growth factor 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

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.
