basic FUNCTION
| may be involved in nervous system development and function |
|
acts intracellularly as a microtubule-stabilizing protein required for axon and leading process development and neuronal migration in the cerebral cortex |
|
essential role of FGF13 in establishing neural circuits in the cerebral cortex and enabling cognitive functions |
|
not only binds to tubulins but also polymerizes and stabilizes MTs, and is likely required for the assembly of MTs in neurons |
|
is required for the formation and structural refinement of axons |
|
FGF13 expression is critical for hippocampal development |
|
FGF11, FGF12, FGF13, FGF14 are intracellular proteins that bind and modulate voltage-gated sodium channels |
|
possible role for FGF13 in hair follicle growth and in the hair cycle |
|
FGF11, FGF12, FGF13, FGF14 not only are potent modulators of voltage-gated Na+ channels but also affect Ca2+ channels and their function |
|
powerful role of FGF13 in control of neuronal excitability |
|
is a microtubule-stabilizing protein that regulates neuronal polarization and migration |
|
concerted actions of FGF13 and FGF14 regulate the polarized localization of voltage-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) that supports efficient action potential initiation |
