Predicted to enable growth factor activity; type 1 fibroblast growth factor receptor binding activity; and type 2 fibroblast growth factor receptor binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling pathway; positive regulation of cell population proliferation; and positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and extracellular space. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 20 with or without anosmia. Orthologous to human FGF17 (fibroblast growth factor 17). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
