| Primary Identifier | MGI:1277980 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
| Chromosome | 11 | NCBI Gene Number | 14172 |
| Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
| description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0) Predicted to enable growth factor activity; type 1 fibroblast growth factor receptor binding activity; and type 2 fibroblast growth factor receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of chondrocyte differentiation; positive regulation of signal transduction; and skeletal system development. Predicted to be located in nucleolus. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; musculoskeletal system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human FGF18 (fibroblast growth factor 18). PHENOTYPE: Homozygotes for targeted null mutations die perinatally and exhibit impaired proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts, shortened and thickened long bones, and delayed ossification of the calvarium and long bones.
