PHYSICAL PROPERTIES
STRUCTURE
motifs/domains
  • N-terminal myristylation sites for localization to membranes, including the plasma membrane
  • a phosphotyrosine binding (PTB) domain for binding to RTKs, such as the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) receptor and neurotrophin receptor
  • four potential GRB2-binding sites
  • HOMOLOGY
    intraspecies homolog to FRS3

    basic FUNCTION
  • functioning as a lipid-anchored docking protein that targets signaling molecules to the plasma membrane in response to FGF stimulation
  • playing a role in the induction of lens and retina through recruitment of FGF and PTPN11
  • plays a pivotal role in FGF-dependent activation of the Ras-MAP kinase, PI-3 kinase, and FRAP1 pathways in breast carcinoma cells
  • central mediator in FGF signaling (Minegishi 2009)
  • FGF/FRS2&
  • 945;-mediated signals prevent premature differentiation of heart progenitor cells through suppressing autophagy.
  • is an adaptor protein that plays a critical role in FGFR signaling
  • FRS2-PTPN11 complex is the key mediator of FGF signaling in lens development
  • is a previously unidentified component of VEGF receptors signaling
  • FRS2 signaling is critical for nephron progenitors
  • is an FGF receptor-associated protein required for activation of downstream signaling molecules that include those in the mitogen-activated protein and AKT1 kinase pathways
  • FRS2, FRS3 may act as an important node for FGF and neurotrophin signaling in postnatal hippocampal development

    signaling
  • FGFR/FRS2 signaling may play a functional role in the development of high-grade liposarcomas

  • a component
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • binds to GRB2 in response to FGF or nerve growth factor stimulation
  • bind to a tyrosine phosphatase, SHP2 (Minegishi 2009)
  • regulates ERK levels to control a self-renewal target HES1 and proliferation of FGF-responsive neural stem/progenitor cells
  • tyrosine phosphorylation of FRS2 mediates FGFR-dependent lens cell survival, providing a mechanistic basis for the unique fiber-differentiating capacity of FGFs on mammalian lens epithelial cells
