Primary Identifier | MGI:1919764 | Organism | mouse, laboratory |
Chromosome | 19 | NCBI Gene Number | 72514 |
Mgi Type | protein coding gene |
description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Enables fibroblast growth factor binding activity. Involved in adult behavior; positive regulation of ERK1 and ERK2 cascade; and positive regulation of nervous system process. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; future prosencephalon; male reproductive gland or organ; notochord; and primitive endoderm. Orthologous to human FGFBP3 (fibroblast growth factor binding protein 3). PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit increased anxiety-related responses. [provided by MGI curators] |
