Relevance to Autism
siRNA-mediated downregulation of Fgr2 in mice resulted in abnormal neuronal migration and spine density during cortical development, as well as reduced ultrasonic vocalizations and impaired social interactions; conversely, overexpression of FGFR2 was shown to rescue neuronal migration and spine defects and ASD-related core behaviors in Negr1-downregulated mice (Szczurkowska et al., 2018).
Molecular Function
Tyrosine-protein kinase that acts as cell-surface receptor for fibroblast growth factors and plays an essential role in the regulation of cell proliferation, differentiation, migration and apoptosis, and in the regulation of embryonic development.
