Descriptions

The mammalian fibroblast growth factor (FGF)1 family contains at least 22 distinct polypeptides (FGF1–FGF22) that are expressed in a specific spatial and temporal pattern. FGF9 was originally described as a glia-activating factor and is expressed in the nervous system as a potent mitogen for glia cells. FGF9 adopts a beta-trefoil fold similar to other FGFs, but the N- and C-terminal regions outside the beta-trefoil core are ordered (typical FGFs have disordered tails) and involved in reversible dimerization. Due to the dimerization, a significant surface area is buried in the dimer interface that occludes a major receptor binding site of FGF9 within the beta-trefoil core.

2 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
cytoplasm The contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures.
extracellular space That part of a multicellular organism outside the cells proper, usually taken to be outside the plasma membranes, and occupied by fluid.

2 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
fibroblast growth factor receptor binding Binding to a fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR).
growth factor activity The function that stimulates a cell to grow or proliferate. Most growth factors have other actions besides the induction of cell growth or proliferation.

17 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
animal organ morphogenesis Morphogenesis of an animal organ. An organ is defined as a tissue or set of tissues that work together to perform a specific function or functions. Morphogenesis is the process in which anatomical structures are generated and organized. Organs are commonly observed as visibly distinct structures, but may also exist as loosely associated clusters of cells that work together to perform a specific function or functions.
cell differentiation The cellular developmental process in which a relatively unspecialized cell, e.g. embryonic or regenerative cell, acquires specialized structural and/or functional features that characterize a specific cell. Differentiation includes the processes involved in commitment of a cell to a specific fate and its subsequent development to the mature state.
cell population proliferation The multiplication or reproduction of cells, resulting in the expansion of a cell population.
cell proliferation in forebrain The creation of greater cell numbers in the forebrain due to cell division of progenitor cells.
cell proliferation in midbrain The multiplication or reproduction of cells, resulting in the expansion of a cell population in the midbrain.
diencephalon development The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the diencephalon over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The diencephalon is the paired caudal parts of the prosencephalon from which the thalamus, hypothalamus, epithalamus and subthalamus are derived; these regions regulate autonomic, visceral and endocrine function, and process information directed to the cerebral cortex.
fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling pathway The series of molecular signals generated as a consequence of a fibroblast growth factor receptor binding to one of its physiological ligands.
forebrain development The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the forebrain over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The forebrain is the anterior of the three primary divisions of the developing chordate brain or the corresponding part of the adult brain (in vertebrates, includes especially the cerebral hemispheres, the thalamus, and the hypothalamus and especially in higher vertebrates is the main control center for sensory and associative information processing, visceral functions, and voluntary motor functions).
GABAergic neuron differentiation The process in which a neuroblast acquires the specialized structural and functional features of a GABAergic neuron.
oligodendrocyte differentiation The process in which a relatively unspecialized cell acquires the specialized features of an oligodendrocyte. An oligodendrocyte is a type of glial cell involved in myelinating the axons of neurons in the central nervous system.
pectoral fin development The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the pectoral fin over time, from its formation to the mature structure.
pectoral fin morphogenesis The process in which the anatomical structures of the pectoral fin are generated and organized. Pectoral fins are bilaterally paired fins mounted laterally and located behind the gill covers of fish. These fins are used for lateral mobility and propulsion.
positive regulation of cell population proliferation Any process that activates or increases the rate or extent of cell proliferation.
positive regulation of endothelial cell chemotaxis to fibroblast growth factor Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of endothelial cell chemotaxis to fibroblast growth factor.
positive regulation of gene expression Any process that increases the frequency, rate or extent of gene expression. Gene expression is the process in which a gene's coding sequence is converted into a mature gene product (protein or RNA).
positive regulation of protein phosphorylation Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of addition of phosphate groups to amino acids within a protein.
subpallium development The process whose specific outcome is the progression of the subpallium over time, from its formation to the mature structure. The subpallium is the base region of the telencephalon.
