Gene: FAM227B

Alternate names for this Gene: C15orf33

Gene Summary:

Gene is located in Chromosome: 15

Location in Chromosome : 15q21.2

Description of this Gene: family with sequence similarity 227 member B

Type of Gene: protein-coding

Gene: FGF7

Alternate names for this Gene: HBGF-7|KGF

Gene Summary: 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. This protein is a potent epithelial cell-specific growth factor, whose mitogenic activity is predominantly exhibited in keratinocytes but not in fibroblasts and endothelial cells. Studies of mouse and rat homologs of this gene implicated roles in morphogenesis of epithelium, reepithelialization of wounds, hair development and early lung organogenesis.
