Ror2 - receptor tyrosine kinase-like orphan receptor 2 Gene

Enables Wnt-protein binding activity; Frizzled binding activity; and mitogen-activated protein kinase kinase kinase binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of canonical Wnt signaling pathway and positive regulation of transcription, DNA-templated. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cartilage condensation; cell surface receptor signaling pathway; and embryonic morphogenesis. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including dendrite; microtubule; and neuronal cell body. Predicted to be part of receptor complex. Predicted to be integral component of plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; neural ectoderm; 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, Apr 2022]
