Rabbit anti-Human DDR2 Polyclonal Antibody

Uniprot Id

Q16832

Target Species

Human

Target Name

DDR2

Target Full Name

Discoidin domain-containing receptor 2

Target Function

Tyrosine kinase involved in the regulation of tissues remodeling. It functions as cell surface receptor for fibrillar collagen and regulates cell differentiation, remodeling of the extracellular matrix, cell migration and cell proliferation. Required for normal bone development. Regulates osteoblast differentiation and chondrocyte maturation via a signaling pathway that involves MAP kinases and leads to the activation of the transcription factor RUNX2. Regulates remodeling of the extracellular matrix by up-regulation of the collagenases MMP1, MMP2 and MMP13, and thereby facilitates cell migration and tumor cell invasion. Promotes fibroblast migration and proliferation, and thereby contributes to cutaneous wound healing.

Target Involvement

Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia short limb-hand type (SEMD-SL)

Target Subcellular Location

Cell membrane; Single-pass type I membrane protein.

Target Protein Families

Protein kinase superfamily, Tyr protein kinase family, Insulin receptor subfamily

Target Tissue Specificity

Detected in osteocytes, osteoblastic cells in subchondral bone, bone lining cells, tibia and cartilage (at protein level). Detected at high levels in heart and lung, and at low levels in brain, placenta, liver, skeletal muscle, pancreas, and kidney.

Target Background

This gene encodes a member of the discoidin domain receptor subclass of the receptor tyrosine kinase (RTKs) protein family. RTKs play a key role in the communication of cells with their microenvironment. The encoded protein is a collagen-induced receptor that activates signal transduction pathways involved in cell adhesion, proliferation, and extracellular matrix remodeling. This protein is expressed in numerous cell types and may alos be involved in wound repair and regulate tumor growth and invasiveness. Mutations in this gene are the cause of short limb-hand type spondylometaepiphyseal dysplasia.
