Symbol: Fstl4
Full name: follistatin-like 4
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: VALIDATED
Organism: Mus musculus
Also known as: B230374F23Rik; SPIG1; mKIAA1061
Summary: Enables brain-derived neurotrophic factor binding activity. Acts upstream of or within negative regulation of brain-derived neurotrophic factor receptor signaling pathway; negative regulation of collateral sprouting; and negative regulation of dendritic spine development. Located in secretory granule. Is expressed in medulla oblongata basal plate mantle layer; neural retina; olfactory cortex mantle layer; pons mantle layer; and telencephalon mantle layer. Orthologous to human FSTL4 (follistatin like 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
