Structural highlights
Disease
ROR2_HUMAN Autosomal recessive Robinow syndrome;Brachydactyly type B. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry. The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Function
ROR2_HUMAN 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. Phosphorylates YWHAB, leading to induction of osteogenesis and bone formation.[1]
