Summary: Predicted to enable fibroblast growth factor receptor binding activity; growth factor activity; and receptor-receptor interaction. Involved in regulation of neuron differentiation. Acts upstream of or within inner ear auditory receptor cell differentiation and regulation of cardiac muscle cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including cranium; jaw; limb; metanephros; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in renal agenesis. Orthologous to human FGF20 (fibroblast growth factor 20). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 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.
