Predicted to enable fibroblast growth factor receptor binding activity and growth factor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of bile acid biosynthetic process; neural crest cell migration; and response to bacterium. Predicted to be located in extracellular region. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; branchial arch endoderm; embryo ectoderm; mesonephros; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human FGF19 (fibroblast growth factor 19).
