FGF21 UNQ3115/PRO10196

Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21)

Theis gene encodes a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. FGF family members possess broad mitogenic and cell survival activities and are involved in a variety of biological processes. This protein is a secreted endocrine factor that functions as a major metabolic regulator. The encoded protein stimulates the uptake of glucose in adipose tissue. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016],

Function:Stimulates glucose uptake in differentiated adipocytes via the induction of glucose transporter SLC2A1/GLUT1, but not SLC2A4/GLUT4, expression.,similarity:Belongs to the heparin-binding growth factors family.,
