Human FGF2 Predicted Functions
Enables several functions, including identical protein binding activity; nuclear receptor coactivator activity; and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of cell population proliferation; positive regulation of intracellular signal transduction; and regulation of cell migration. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of cell fate specification and positive regulation of cell population proliferation. Located in extracellular space. Implicated in several diseases, including Parkinsonism; corneal neovascularization; diabetic neuropathy; gastric ulcer; and impotence. Biomarker of several diseases, including artery disease (multiple); breast cancer (multiple); carcinoma (multiple); eye disease (multiple); and female reproductive organ cancer (multiple).

Mouse Fgf2 Predicted Functions
Enables growth factor activity. Involved in stem cell development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including animal organ development; positive regulation of macromolecule metabolic process; and positive regulation of signal transduction. Located in extracellular space. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; extraembryonic component; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Parkinsonism; corneal neovascularization; diabetic neuropathy; gastric ulcer; and impotence. Orthologous to human FGF2 (fibroblast growth factor 2).
