ID:FGF5_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Fibroblast growth factor 5; Short=FGF-5; AltName: Full=Heparin-binding growth factor 5; Short=HBGF-5; AltName: Full=Smag-82; Flags: Precursor; FUNCTION: Plays an important role in the regulation of cell proliferation and cell differentiation. Required for normal regulation of the hair growth cycle. Functions as an inhibitor of hair elongation by promoting progression from anagen, the growth phase of the hair follicle, into catagen the apoptosis-induced regression phase (By similarity). SUBUNIT: Interacts with FGFR1 and FGFR2. Affinity between fibroblast growth factors (FGFs) and their receptors is increased by heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans that function as coreceptors. SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Secreted (Potential). TISSUE SPECIFICITY: Expressed in neonatal brain. DEVELOPMENTAL STAGE: Can transform NIH 3T3 cells. SIMILARITY: Belongs to the heparin-binding growth factors family. SEQUENCE CAUTION: Sequence=AAB60698.1; Type=Erroneous gene model prediction; WEB RESOURCE: Name=NIEHS-SNPs; URL="http://egp.gs.washington.edu/data/fgf5/";
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
