ROR2 (human, Q01974) curation notes
Deep research providers were unavailable in this environment; evidence is from cached publications
and UniProt.
Localization
- Single-pass type I plasma membrane receptor: UniProt
SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Cell membrane
{ECO:0000250}; Single-pass type I membrane protein; extracellular Ig-like, Frizzled-like
cysteine-rich and kringle domains are surface-exposed.
- PMID:17717073 — cell-surface accessible, confirmed by
bivalent-antibody-induced dimerization (relevant for antibody-based targeting).
- Clathrin-coated endocytic vesicle membrane (Reactome) kept as non-core trafficking compartment.
Kinase activity
- PMID:17717073; UniProt EC 2.7.10.1. UniProt also notes "has also been shown
to have very little tyrosine kinase activity in vitro", and TAK1-dependent phosphorylation of ROR2
is "not mediated by the Ror2 tyrosine kinase domain" PMID:18762249. The kinase rows were
therefore ACCEPTed (not removed as for a true pseudokinase such as PTK7) but the weak-activity
caveat is recorded here and in the description.
Wnt function
- UniProt: "May act as a receptor for wnt ligand WNT5A which may result in the inhibition of
WNT3A-mediated signaling"; WNT5B identified in osteosarcoma PMID:19486338.
- ROR2 knockdown reduces osteosarcoma proliferation and migration PMID:19486338.
Review decisions
- 29 generic
GO:0005515 rows removed per policy; Wnt-protein binding and MAP3K binding kept.
GO:0004672 protein kinase activity modified to the tyrosine-specific terms; GO:0007165 signal
transduction modified to the RTK signalling pathway term.
GO:0030424 axon (IBA) kept as non-core.
