Recombinant Human Protein sprouty homolog 2 (SPRY2)

Uniprot Id

O43597

Target Species

Human

Target Name

SPRY2

Target Full Name

Protein sprouty homolog 2

Target Function

Antagonist of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) pathways via inhibition of FGF-mediated phosphorylation of ERK1/2. Thereby acts as an antagonist of FGF-induced retinal lens fiber differentiation, may inhibit limb bud outgrowth and may negatively modulate respiratory organogenesis. Inhibits TGFB-induced epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition in retinal lens epithelial cells. Inhibits CBL/C-CBL-mediated EGFR ubiquitination.

Target Involvement

IgA nephropathy 3 (IGAN3)

Target Subcellular Location

Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cell projection, ruffle membrane.

Target Protein Families

Sprouty family

Target Research Area

Cardiovascular

Target Synonyms

hSPRY 2; hSPRY2; MGC23039; Protein sprouty homolog 2; Sprouty 2; Sprouty homolog 2 (Drosophila); Sprouty homolog 2; Sprouty2; Spry 2; Spry-2; SPRY2; SPY2_HUMAN

Target Background

This gene encodes a protein belonging to the sprouty family. The encoded protein contains a carboxyl-terminal cysteine-rich domain essential for the inhibitory activity on receptor tyrosine kinase signaling proteins and is required for growth factor stimulated translocation of the protein to membrane ruffles. In primary dermal endothelial cells this gene is transiently upregulated in response to fibroblast growth factor two. This protein is indirectly involved in the non-cell autonomous inhibitory effect on fibroblast growth factor two signaling. The protein interacts with Cas-Br-M (murine) ectropic retroviral transforming sequence, and can function as a bimodal regulator of epidermal growth factor receptor/mitogen-activated protein kinase signaling. This protein may play a role in alveoli branching during lung development as shown by a similar mouse protein.
