NCIt definition : Human FGF8 wild-type allele is located within 10q24 and is approximately 6 kb in length.
This allele, which encodes fibroblast growth factor 8 protein, plays a role in embryonic
epithelial regulation and angiogenesis.;
NCIt note : Human FG8F Gene (FGF Family) at 10q24 encodes alternative isoforms FGF-8A, FGF-8B,
FGF-8E, and FGF-8F of secreted autocrine androgen-induced Fibroblast Growth Factor
8, which may be involved in angiogenesis and/or act as an embryonic epithelial factor
in midbrain and limb development, in organogenesis, in gastrulation, and in left-right
axis determination. Additional isoforms may exist.;
