FSTL4 follistatin like 4

Gene ID: 23105, updated on 2-Nov-2024
Gene type: protein coding

Summary

Predicted to enable brain-derived neurotrophic factor binding activity and calcium ion binding activity. Predicted to be involved in cell differentiation and regulation of BMP signaling pathway. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor receptor signaling pathway; negative regulation of collateral sprouting; and negative regulation of dendritic spine development. Predicted to be located in secretory granule. Predicted to be active in extracellular region. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
