FGF14

Also known as FGF-14, FHF-4, FHF4, SCA27, fibroblast growth factor 14

Fibroblast growth factor 14 is a biologically active protein that in humans is encoded by the FGF14 gene.

Gene data

FGF14

Name: fibroblast growth factor 14
Type: protein-coding
Aliases: FGF-14, FHF-4, FHF4, NYS4, SCA27, SCA27A, SCA27B

The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities, and are involved in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. A mutation in this gene is associated with autosomal dominant cerebral ataxia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008].
