protein sprouty homolog 2; Spry-2 (SPRY2)

Function

• may function as an antagonist of fibroblast growth factor (FGF) pathways
• may negatively modulate respiratory organogenesis

Structure

• the Cys-rich domain is responsible for the localization of the protein to membrane ruffles
• belongs to the sprouty family
• contains 1 SPR (sprouty) domain

Compartment

• cytoplasm, cell membrane
• associated with microtubules in unstimulated cells but is translocated to membrane ruffles in cells stimulated with epidermal growth factor (EGF)

Expression

• induced by FGF signaling

More general terms

• sprouty homolog
• phosphoprotein
