About This Section
| Entrez Gene summary for FGF21: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possessbroad mitogenic and cell survival activities and are involved in a variety of biological processes including embryonicdevelopment, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion. The function of this growth factorhas not yet been determined. (provided by RefSeq) UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: FGF21_HUMAN, Q9NSA1Function: Stimulates glucose uptake in differentiated adipocytes via the induction of glucose transporter SLC2A1/GLUT1expression (but not SLC2A4/GLUT4 expression). Activity requires the presence of KLB Gene Wiki entry for FGF21 |
