Rabbit anti-Human FGF12 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

P61328

Target Species

Human

Target Name

FGF12

Target Full Name

Fibroblast growth factor 12

Target Function

Involved in nervous system development and function. Involved in the positive regulation of voltage-gated sodium channel activity. Promotes neuronal excitability by elevating the voltage dependence of neuronal sodium channel SCN8A fast inactivation.

Target Involvement

Epileptic encephalopathy, early infantile, 47 (EIEE47)

Target Subcellular Location

Nucleus.

Target Protein Families

Heparin-binding growth factors family

Target Tissue Specificity

Brain, eye and testis; highly expressed in embryonic retina, olfactory epithelium, olfactory bulb, and in a segmental pattern of the body wall; in adult olfactory bulb, less in cerebellum, deep cerebellar nuclei, cortex and multiple midbrain structures.

Target Research Area

Cardiovascular

Target Synonyms

EIEE47; FGF-12; Fgf12; FGF12_HUMAN; FGF12B; FHF-1; FHF1; Fibroblast growth factor 12; Fibroblast growth factor 12B; Fibroblast growth factor FGF 12b; Fibroblast growth factor homologous factor 1; Myocyte activating factor; Myocyte-activating factor

Target Background

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 growth factor lacks the N-terminal signal sequence present in most of the FGF family members, but it contains clusters of basic residues that have been demonstrated to act as a nuclear localization signal. When transfected into mammalian cells, this protein accumulated in the nucleus, but was not secreted. The specific function of this gene has not yet been determined.
