Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables fibroblast growth factor receptor activity and miRNA binding activity. Involved in several processes, including bone development; post-anal tail morphogenesis; and response to sodium phosphate. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including epithelial cell differentiation; negative regulation of cell differentiation; and nervous system development. Located in cytoplasmic side of plasma membrane; lysosome; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; respiratory system; sensory organ; and skeleton. Used to study Muenke Syndrome; achondroplasia; hypochondroplasia; scoliosis; and thanatophoric dysplasia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Human papillomavirus infectious disease; SADDAN; acanthosis nigricans; bone disease (multiple); and carcinoma (multiple).
