Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable growth factor activity; heparin binding activity; and sodium channel regulator activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adult locomotory behavior; neuromuscular process; and positive regulation of sodium ion transport. Located in cytosol; nucleus; and synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; cardiovascular system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study Alzheimer's disease; frontotemporal dementia; and spinocerebellar ataxia type 27. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant cerebellar ataxia. Orthologous to human FGF14 (fibroblast growth factor 14).
