Protein attributes

Sequence length	210 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is further processed into a mature form.
Protein existence	Evidence at transcript level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Stimulates glucose uptake in differentiated adipocytes via the induction of glucose transporter SLC2A1/GLUT1 expression (but not SLC2A4/GLUT4 expression). Activity probably requires the presence of KLB. Ref.4
Subunit structure	Interacts (via C-terminus) with KLB; this interaction is direct By similarity.
Subcellular location	Secreted Potential.
Tissue specificity	Most abundantly expressed in the liver, also expressed in the thymus at lower levels. Ref.1
Sequence similarities	Belongs to the heparin-binding growth factors family.
