    Summary
    Predicted to enable fibroblast growth factor receptor binding activity and growth factor activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to glucagon stimulus; endothelial cell apoptotic process; and negative regulation of endothelial cell apoptotic process. Located in extracellular space. Orthologous to human FGF21 (fibroblast growth factor 21). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
