About This Section

EntrezGene summary for FGF21:
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. The function of this growth factor has not yet been determined.
[provided by RefSeq]

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: FGF21_HUMAN, Q9NSA1
Function: Stimulates glucose uptake in differentiated adipocytes via the induction of glucose
transporter SLC2A1/GLUT1, but not SLC2A4/GLUT4, expression
