Ror2 Gene Summary [Mouse]

Enables Wnt-protein binding activity; frizzled binding activity; and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of DNA-templated transcription and positive regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cartilage development; cell surface receptor signaling pathway; and embryonic morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cell surface; microtubule; and neuronal cell body. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including axon; glutamatergic synapse; and postsynapse. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study autosomal recessive Robinow syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive Robinow syndrome; brachydactyly type B1; and cleft palate. Orthologous to human ROR2 (receptor tyrosine kinase like orphan receptor 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

Protein Domains

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in mouse Ror2 often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
