Biochem/physiol Actions

Receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 2 (ROR2) might interact with Wnt5a to stimulate non-canonical Wnt signaling pathway. The encoded protein plays a vital role in chondrocyte lineage and it might be involved in cartilage and growth plate development. Genetic variation in the gene leads to autosomal dominant brachydactyly type B1 (BDB1) and autosomal recessive Robinow syndrome.

General description

The protein encoded by this gene is a receptor protein tyrosine kinase and type I transmembrane protein that belongs to the ROR subfamily of cell surface receptors. The protein may be involved in the early formation of the chondrocytes and may be required for cartilage and growth plate development. Mutations in this gene can cause brachydactyly type B, a skeletal disorder characterized by hypoplasia/aplasia of distal phalanges and nails. In addition, mutations in this gene can cause the autosomal recessive form of Robinow syndrome, which is characterized by skeletal dysplasia with generalized limb bone shortening, segmental defects of the spine, brachydactyly, and a dysmorphic facial appearance.

Receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 2 (ROR2) gene, spanning 228kb with nine exons, is mapped to human chromosome 9q22.31. The gene codes for a member of Ror family of receptor tyrosine kinases.
