Fgf5 - fibroblast growth factor 5 Gene

Also Known as go; Fgf-5; Fgf3a; HBGF-5; angora

Species: Mus musculus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 14176

Summary

This gene encodes a secreted protein that is a member of a family of heparin-binding growth factors. The encoded protein regulates cell proliferation, particularly the growth of hair follicles. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2013]
