CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF FIBROBLAST GROWTH FACTOR 9 (FGF9)CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF FIBROBLAST GROWTH FACTOR 9 (FGF9)
Structural highlights
DiseaseFGF9_HUMAN Defects in FGF9 are the cause of multiple synostoses syndrome type 3 (SYNS3) [MIM:612961. Multiple synostoses syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by progressive joint fusions of the fingers, wrists, ankles and cervical spine, characteristic facies and progressive conductive deafness.[1] FunctionFGF9_HUMAN Plays an important role in the regulation of embryonic development, cell proliferation, cell differentiation and cell migration. May have a role in glial cell growth and differentiation during development, gliosis during repair and regeneration of brain tissue after damage, differentiation and survival of neuronal cells, and growth stimulation of glial tumors.[2] [3] Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.
