BEK Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor; BEK Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor Kinase; BEK Protein Tyrosine Kinase; Bek Fgf Receptor Kinase; Bek-Related Fibroblast Growth Factor-Receptor-1; FGFR2 Protein; FGFR2b; FGFR2c
A fibroblast growth factor receptor that is found in two isoforms. One receptor isoform is found in the MESENCHYME and is activated by FIBROBLAST GROWTH FACTOR 2. A second isoform of fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 is found mainly in EPITHELIAL CELLS and is activated by FIBROBLAST GROWTH FACTOR 7 and FIBROBLAST GROWTH FACTOR 10. Mutation of the gene for fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 can result in APERT SYNDROME.
