Additional Info

Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2), encoded by the FGFR2 gene, is a protein with diverse functions. It spans the outer membrane of cells, projecting one end outside the cell and the other end inside. This positioning allows FGFR2 to interact with specific growth factors in the extracellular environment and receive signals that influence cellular responses.
