- Description
- Predicted to have fibroblast growth factor receptor binding activity and growth factor activity. Involved in several processes, including animal organ development; determination of bilateral symmetry; and nervous system development. Localizes to extracellular space and lysosome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 6 with or without anosmia and prostate carcinoma in situ. Is expressed in several structures, including germ ring; head; mesoderm; nervous system; and neural keel. Orthologous to human FGF8 (fibroblast growth factor 8).
