  ID: FGF17_HUMAN
DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Fibroblast growth factor 17; Short=FGF-17; Flags: Precursor;
FUNCTION: Plays an important role in the regulation of embryonic development and as signaling molecule in the induction and patterning of the embryonic brain. Required for normal brain development.
SUBUNIT: Interacts with FGFR3 and FGFR4.
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted.
TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Preferentially expressed in the embryonic brain.
DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Detected in embryos at E14.5, but not at E10.5 and E19.5. Preferentially expressed in the neuroepithelia of the isthmus and septum of the embryonic brain at E14.5.
SIMILARITY: Belongs to the heparin-binding growth factors family.
