Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables chemoattractant activity. Involved in positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription and radial glial cell differentiation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including gland morphogenesis; lung development; and regulation of signal transduction. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study intestinal atresia and lacrimoauriculodentodigital syndrome 1. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in aplasia of lacrimal and salivary glands and lacrimoauriculodentodigital syndrome 3. Orthologous to human FGF10 (fibroblast growth factor 10).
