Description

The FBRS (fibrosin) is a protein-coding gene located on chromosome 16.

The FBRS gene in humans encodes for Probable fibrosin-1 long transcript protein. Fibrosin, a lymphokine secreted by activated lymphocytes, promotes fibroblast proliferation, a key process in tissue repair and regeneration.

Fibrosin, a protein encoded by the FBRS gene, is a lymphokine secreted by activated lymphocytes. It plays a role in stimulating fibroblast proliferation, a process essential for tissue repair and regeneration.

FBRS is also known as FBS, FBS1.
