Biological function summary
FGFR2 plays a role in diverse cellular processes like proliferation differentiation and migration. As part of a receptor-ligand complex FGFR2 partners with fibroblast growth factors to initiate signaling cascades. It contributes to embryonic development tissue repair and angiogenesis. FGFR2b expression predominantly appears in epithelial cells while FGFR2c is found in mesenchymal cells reflecting its distinct role in tissue-specific signaling.
Pathways
FGFR2 integrates into key signaling networks especially the MAPK and PI3K/AKT pathways. It interacts with proteins like FRS2 and GRB2 which facilitate the activation of downstream signals promoting cell survival and growth. FGFR2's engagement in these pathways is critical for maintaining normal cellular functions and contributes to its involvement in regulating complex cellular responses.
