Background

FGF 9, Fibroblast growth factor 9, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGF9 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family. The FGF 9 gene contains 3 exons. By radioactive chromosomal in situ hybridization, the FGF 9 gene is mapped to chromosome 13q11-q12. This protein was isolated as a secreted factor that exhibits a growth-stimulating effect on cultured glial cells. In nervous system, this protein is produced mainly by neurons and may be important for glial cell development. Expression of the mouse homolog of this gene was found to be dependent on Sonic hedgehog (Shh) signaling.
