Fibroblast growth factor 17 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGF17 gene.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. This gene was shown to be prominently expressed in the cerebellum and cortex.
