Human FGF-13 is encoded by the FGF13 gene. FGF-13 belongs to the FGF-11 subfamily which has four members FGF-11 toFGF-14. These four members were initially referred to as fibroblast growth factor homologous factors (FHFs) because they havehigh sequence identity with the other FGFs but did not activate FGF receptors (FGFRs) and were therefore not generallyconsidered members of the FGF family. FGF-13 plays a crucial role in neuron polarization and migration in the cerebral cortex.In murine FGF-13 RNA was detected in developing central nervous system in cells, and was also found throughout the peripheralnervous system.
