Gene Symbol:

Folr2 Mus musculus

Full name:

folate receptor 2 (fetal)

Synonyms:

FBP2, FR-P3, FR-beta, Folbp-2, Folbp2, folate receptor beta, folate binding protein 2

Genomic Location:

Chr 7: 108988502-109012042

Description:

This gene encodes a receptor protein located on the plasma membrane that mediates folate uptake by cells. Mice lacking the product of this gene show no defects in embryonic development and grow normally into fertile adults. However, such mice were found to be highly susceptible to the teratogenic effects of arsenic. Alternate splicing of this gene ...

View Full Description

This gene encodes a receptor protein located on the plasma membrane that mediates folate uptake by cells. Mice lacking the product of this gene show no defects in embryonic development and grow normally into fertile adults. However, such mice were found to be highly susceptible to the teratogenic effects of arsenic. Alternate splicing of this gene results in multiple transcript variants.
