Recombinant Human Fibroblast growth factor receptor substrate 2 (FRS2)

Uniprot Id

Q8WU20

Target Species

Human

Target Name

FRS2

Target Full Name

Fibroblast growth factor receptor substrate 2

Target Function

Adapter protein that links activated FGR and NGF receptors to downstream signaling pathways. Plays an important role in the activation of MAP kinases and in the phosphorylation of PIK3R1, the regulatory subunit of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase, in response to ligand-mediated activation of FGFR1. Modulates signaling via SHC1 by competing for a common binding site on NTRK1.

Target Subcellular Location

Endomembrane system. Note=Cytoplasmic, membrane-bound.

Target Tissue Specificity

Highly expressed in heart, brain, spleen, lung, liver, skeletal muscle, kidney and testis.

Target Background

Enables fibroblast growth factor receptor binding activity and neurotrophin TRKA receptor binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of cardiac muscle cell differentiation. Acts upstream of or within fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling pathway. Located in adherens junction. Biomarker of renal cell carcinoma.
