Summary

FGF11 (fibroblast growth factor 11, HGNC:3667) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 17p13.1, encoding Fibroblast growth factor 11 (Q92914). Probably involved in nervous system development and function.

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. The function of this gene has not yet been determined. The expression pattern of the mouse homolog implies a role in nervous system development. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 12)

  • these results concluded that infiltrating CD4(+) T cells could promote PCa metastasis via modulation of FGF11–>miRNA-541–>AR–>MMP9 signaling. (PMID:25135278)
  • Study found that FGF11 expression can be induced through HIF-1 binding sites in its promoter region suggesting that FGF11 acts as a novel modulator of hypoxia-induced pathological processes such as tumor progression. (PMID:26323829)
  • Exosomal miR-24-3p is involved in tumour pathogenesis by mediating T-cell suppression via repression of FGF11, and may serve as a potential prognostic biomarker in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). (PMID:27538493)
  • these results suggest a cross-regulation between HIF-1alpha and FGF11, through which hypoxia-induced FGF11 reinforces hypoxia responses by enhancing the stability of HIF-1alpha. (PMID:28027390)
  • FGF11 as a novel factor driving pathological bone resorption in osteolytic disease and as a potential target for the development of new anti-resorptive therapeutic agents (PMID:28097375)
