Fgf1 Gene Summary [Mouse]
Predicted to enable several functions, including Hsp70 protein binding activity; S100 protein binding activity; and signaling receptor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including organ induction; positive regulation of epithelial cell proliferation; and positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process. Located in extracellular matrix and extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in brain ischemia; cleft lip; myocardial infarction; schizophrenia; and urinary bladder cancer. Orthologous to human FGF1 (fibroblast growth factor 1).

Protein Domains
A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Fgf1 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
