	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton,microtubule
	intracellular,nucleus,nucleolus
text	enriched in axonal growth cones and interacts directly with microtubules

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

CELLULAR PROCESS

PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS

PATHWAY

metabolism

signaling

a component

beyond the thermosensors, the FGF13c/SCN9A omplex is essential for sustaining the transmission of noxious heat signals

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

protein	FGF13 regulates proliferation and differentiation of skeletal muscle by down-regulating SPRY1
	FGF13 interacted with the sodium channel SCN9A in a heat-facilitated manner (FGF13 increased SCN9A sodium currents and maintained the membrane localization of SCN9A during noxious heat stimulation, enabling the sustained firing of action potentials)

ANIMAL & CELL MODELS

deletion of Fgf13 in mice results in neuronal migration defects in both the neocortex and the hippocampus, and Fgf13-deficient mice also exhibit weakened learning and memory
