Fgf14 - fibroblast growth factor 14 Gene

Predicted to enable growth factor activity; heparin binding activity; and Sodium Channel regulator activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adult locomotory behavior; neuromuscular process; and positive regulation of ion transport. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study spinocerebellar ataxia type 27. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in spinocerebellar ataxia type 27. Orthologous to human FGF14 (Fibroblast Growth Factor 14). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
