Target information

What is FGFR1OP2 (FGFR1 oncogene partner 2)?

FGFR1OP2 is a protein whose function is not yet well defined. UniProt annotates it as a protein that may be involved in the wound healing pathway. This is consistent with the NCBI Gene summary, which describes the gene as predicted to be involved in response to wounding and predicted to act upstream of or within wound healing. These assignments are predictions rather than experimentally established roles, and they should be read as such when planning experiments with the FGFR1OP2 protein.

The NCBI Gene summary also predicts that FGFR1OP2 enables identical protein binding activity, which suggests it may interact with other copies of itself. UniProt lists its subcellular location as the cytoplasm, and the Alliance of Genome Resources predicts localisation to the cytosol. The protein is classed in the SIKE family, and HGNC places the FGFR1OP2 gene in the STRIPAK complex gene group. Orthologous genes, named Fgfr1op2, are present in both mouse and rat, which allows comparative work in common model organisms.

The name FGFR1 oncogene partner 2 is the approved HGNC full name, and DKFZp564O1863 is a listed alias. The name refers to FGFR1, but the source data do not describe any specific interaction with it, so the link should be treated as nomenclature only. Researchers interested in FGFR1OP2 may also look at related targets such as FGFR1 and FGFRL1 for context in fibroblast growth factor receptor biology.

Wound healing research

FGFR1OP2 may be involved in the wound healing pathway, making it a candidate for studies of wound response.

Protein self-association studies

Predicted identical protein binding activity makes FGFR1OP2 a subject for investigating homomeric interactions.

STRIPAK complex biology

HGNC assigns FGFR1OP2 to the STRIPAK complex gene group, which frames work on related complex components.

Cytoplasmic protein localisation

FGFR1OP2 is located in the cytoplasm, supporting studies of its cytosolic distribution and function.

Background
