Fgf18 - fibroblast growth factor 18

Predicted to enable growth factor activity; type 1 fibroblast growth factor receptor binding activity; and type 2 fibroblast growth factor receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including positive regulation of chondrocyte differentiation; positive regulation of signal transduction; and skeletal system development. Predicted to be located in nucleolus. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm and extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; sensory organ; and skeleton. Orthologous to human FGF18 (fibroblast growth factor 18).
