About Fgf8

Summary

Enables chemoattractant activity. Involved in several processes, including neuron development; odontogenesis; and response to oxidative stress. Located in external side of plasma membrane. Biomarker of hypospadias. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hypogonadotropic hypogonadism 6 with or without anosmia and prostate carcinoma in situ. Orthologous to human FGF8 (Fibroblast Growth Factor 8). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
