Summary: Enables fibroblast growth factor receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including angiogenesis involved in coronary vascular morphogenesis; paracrine signaling; and positive regulation of cell population proliferation. Acts upstream of or within fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling pathway. Located in cytoplasm; extracellular space; and nucleus. Used to study pulmonary hypertension. Biomarker of bladder disease; decubitus ulcer; diabetic retinopathy; hypertension; and retinal vein occlusion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Parkinsonism; corneal neovascularization; diabetic neuropathy; gastric ulcer; and impotence. Orthologous to human FGF2 (fibroblast growth factor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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.
