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. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2016]. * **UniProt Summary**: Stimulates glucose uptake in differentiated adipocytes via the induction of glucose transporter SLC2A1/GLUT1 expression (but not SLC2A4/GLUT4 expression). Activity requires the presence of KLB. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15902306, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17623664}. |FGF| |response to methionine| |positive regulation of low-density lipoprotein particle receptor
