Human Fibroblast Growth Factor 14, FGF14 ELI

Fibroblast growth factor 14 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGF14 gene.

The protein encoded by this gene is 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, including embryonic development, cell growth, morphogenesis, tissue repair, tumor growth and invasion.

A mutation in this gene is associated with autosomal dominant cerebral ataxia.

Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been found for this gene.
