Study found that Fgf18 mRNA was one of the spinal motor neurons (SMNs)-specific FGFs in adult mice. Fgf18 mRNA was expressed in the spinal cord, and to a lesser extent in the diaphragm, in mouse embryos. In C2C12 myotubes, FGF18 enhanced AChR clustering. These data propose that FGF18 plays a pivotal role in AChR clustering and NMJ formation in mouse embryogenesis.

Elevation of FGF signaling, mainly due to increased Fgf18 expression upon inactivation of Evc2 in the perichondrium, critically contributes to the pathogenesis of limb dwarfism. The limb dwarfism phenotype is partially rescued by inactivation of one allele of Fgf18 in the Evc2 mutant mice

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.

Status: VALIDATED

Description

Transcript Variant: This variant (2) uses an alternate donor splice site in the 5' terminal exon compared to variant 1. This variant is represented as non-coding because the use of the 5'-most supported translational start codon, as used in variant 1, renders the transcript a candidate for nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD).
