FGF21 (Fibroblast Growth Factor 21) is a Protein Coding gene. Diseases associated with FGF21 include Overnutrition and Diabetes Mellitus, Noninsulin-Dependent. Among its related pathways are p70S6K Signaling and Akt Signaling. FGF21 encodes 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. This protein is a secreted endocrine factor that functions as a major metabolic regulator. The encoded protein stimulates the uptake of glucose in adipose tissue.
