FGF10 - fibroblast growth factor 10
Entrez Gene Name: fibroblast growth factor 10
Synonyms: BB213776, FGF10

Gene Summary

  • Human (2255): The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities, and are involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. This protein exhibits mitogenic activity for keratinizing epidermal cells, but essentially no activity for fibroblasts, which is similar to the biological activity of FGF7. Studies of the mouse homolog of suggested that this gene is required for embryonic epidermal morphogenesis including brain development, lung morphogenesis, and initiation of lim bud formation. This gene is also implicated to be a primary factor in the process of wound healing. [provided by RefSeq]
  • Rat (25443): binds the KGFR receptor, a splice variant of FGFR-2; may contribute to tissue regeneration and angiogenesis after acute pancreatitis [RGD]
