    Summary
    Enables H3K9me3 modified histone binding activity and fibroblast growth factor receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including behavioral response to ethanol; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and regulation of intracellular signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling pathway. Located in extracellular space. Used to study alcohol use disorder and pulmonary hypertension. Biomarker of several diseases, including cocaine abuse; decubitus ulcer; hypertension; middle cerebral artery infarction; and retinal vascular disease (multiple). Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Parkinsonism; corneal neovascularization; diabetic neuropathy; gastric ulcer; and impotence. Orthologous to human FGF2 (fibroblast growth factor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Oct 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.
