Fibroblast growth factor 13 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGF13 gene. [5] [6]

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, invasion, and neuronal physiology. This gene is located to a region associated with Börjeson-Forssman-Lehmann syndrome (BFLS), a syndromal X-linked intellectual disability, which suggests it may be a candidate gene for familial cases of the BFL syndrome. The function of this gene has not yet been determined. Several alternatively spliced transcripts encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [6] FGF13 isoform 1 (FGF13A) binds to the leucine-rich repeats of the hominid-specific receptor LRRC37B. [7] In human pyramidal neurons of the cerebral cortex, this interaction leads to a lower excitability, [7] a divergent cellular property of human pyramidal neurons compared to other mammals. [7]

Fibroblast growth factor 18 (FGF18) is a protein that is encoded by the Fgf18 gene in humans. The protein was first discovered in 1998, when two newly-identified murine genes Fgf17 and Fgf18 were described and confirmed as being closely related by sequence homology to Fgf8. The three proteins were eventually grouped into the FGF8 subfamily, which contains several of the endocrine FGF superfamily members FGF8, FGF17, and FGF18. Subsequent studies identified FGF18's role in promoting chondrogenesis, and an apparent specific activity for the generation of the hyaline cartilage in articular joints.
