Description
Predicted to enable growth factor activity; type 1 fibroblast growth factor receptor binding activity; and type 2 fibroblast growth factor receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including dorsal/ventral pattern formation; fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling pathway; and positive regulation of MAPK cascade. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell differentiation; nervous system development; and positive regulation of cell division. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including anterior macula; brain; midbrain hindbrain boundary neural rod; optic vesicle; and otic vesicle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 6 with or without anosmia and prostate carcinoma in situ. Orthologous to human FGF8 (fibroblast growth factor 8).

Note
Reifers et al. (2000) originally reported this gene as fgf17a with synteny to Mmu Fgf17. Kikuta et al. (2007) present mapping data showing fgf17a (fgf8b) as syntenic to Hsa Chr. 1. These data, along with BLAST results, led to changing fgf17a to fgf8b.
