Fgf7 - fibroblast growth factor 7 Gene

Also Known as Kgf; Fgf5b; KGF/FGF7

Species: Rattus norvegicus

Gene Type: protein coding
Gene ID: 29348

Summary

Enables growth factor activity; heparin binding activity; and type 2 Fibroblast Growth Factor receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including ovarian follicle development; phosphatidylcholine biosynthetic process; and surfactant homeostasis. Located in extracellular space. Orthologous to human FGF7 (Fibroblast Growth Factor 7). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
