    Summary
    Predicted to enable growth factor activity; type 1 fibroblast growth factor receptor binding activity; and type 2 fibroblast growth factor receptor binding activity. Involved in regulation of cell migration and regulation of egg-laying behavior. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including M4 neuron; P5.p; P7.p; epithelial cell; and proctodeal cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 20 with or without anosmia; hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 6 with or without anosmia; and prostate carcinoma in situ. Orthologous to several human genes including FGF18 (fibroblast growth factor 18) and FGF8 (fibroblast growth factor 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. Data show that expression of the fibroblast growth factor-like protein EGL-17 and its receptor EGL-15 is reduced in vrk-1 mutants, suggesting that VRK-1 might act at least partially through activation of FGF signaling.

    2. LET-756, like vertebrate FGF9, -16, and -20, belongs to the FGF9 family, whereas EGL-17, like vertebrate FGF8, -17, and -18, could be included in the FGF8 family [review]
