InnateDB Annotation
Summary
FGF7 enhances alveolar host defence through GM-CSF-stimulated macrophage activation. Intrapulmonary FGF7 injection enhanced the clearance of E. coli or P. aeruginosa via the augmented recruitment, phagocytic activity and oxidant responses of macrophages. (Demonstrated in murine model)

Summary
[Mus musculus] Fgf7 enhances alveolar host defence through GM-CSF-stimulated macrophage activation. Intrapulmonary Fgf7 injection enhanced the clearance of E. coli or P. aeruginosa via the augmented recruitment, phagocytic activity and oxidant responses of macrophages.
Entrez Gene
Summary 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 protein is a potent epithelial cell-specific growth factor, whose mitogenic activity is predominantly exhibited in keratinocytes but not in fibroblasts and endothelial cells. Studies of mouse and rat homologs of this gene implicated roles in morphogenesis of epithelium, reepithelialization of wounds, hair development and early lung organogenesis.
