Target Details for FGF21

Target: FGF21 (Fibroblast Growth Factor 21 (FGF21))

Alternative Name: FGF-21

Background: Fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF-21) is expressed in numerous tissues, including liver, brown adipose tissue, white adipose tissue and pancreas, circulating levels of FGF-21 are derived specifically from the liver in mice. FGF-21 stimulates glucose uptake in adipocytes but not in other cell types.
