ROR2 ROR family WNT receptor 2

ENSG00000169071 · protein coding · Open Targets profile

Tyrosine-protein kinase receptor which may be involved in the early formation of the chondrocytes. It seems to be required for cartilage and growth plate development (By similarity). Phosphorylates YWHAB, leading to induction of osteogenesis and bone formation (PubMed:17717073). In contrast, has also been shown to have very little tyrosine kinase activity in vitro. May act as a receptor for wnt ligand WNT5A which may result in the inhibition of WNT3A-mediated signaling (PubMed:25029443). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9Z138, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17717073, ECO:0000269|PubMed:25029443}.

In 2 of 15 cancers, the evidence for ROR2 comes mainly from inherited variants

Each row is a cancer, strongest overall evidence first. The two dots show how strong the inherited (germline) and tumour-mutation (somatic) evidence is; the line between them is the gap.

Scores run from 0 (no evidence) to 1 (strongest). A missing dot at 0 means Open Targets holds no evidence of that kind. Source: Open Targets Platform, fetched live.

gnomAD loss of function constraint: o/e 0.44040000438690186 (upper bound 0.5888699889183044). Low values mean loss of function is poorly tolerated, a safety flag for inhibition.
