Discoidin domain-containing receptor 2 (EC 2.7.10.1; UniProt Q16832; also known as CD167 antigen-like family member B, CD167b, Discoidin domain receptor 2, Discoidin domain-containing receptor tyrosine kinase 2, Neurotrophic tyrosine kinase, receptor-related 3, Receptor protein-tyrosine kinase TKT, Tyrosine-protein kinase TYRO10) is encoded by the DDR2 (also known as NTRKR3, TKT, TYRO10) gene (Gene ID 4921) in human. Discoidin domain-containing receptors (DDRs) belong to the superfamily of transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinases (RTKs). DDRs are distinguished from other RTKs by their extracellular discoidin motif and their utilization of collagens as internal ligands. While DDR1 binds essentially all types of collagens, DDR2 shows a preference for type I, II and III fibrillar collagens, and nonfibrillar type X collagen. DDR1 is widely expressed in epithelial cells in lung, kidney, colon, and brain, whereas DDR2 is primarily expressed in mesenchymal cells including fibroblasts, myofibroblasts, smooth muscle cells, and chondrocytes in kidney, skin, lung, heart, and connective tissues. DDRs are important mediators of fundamental cellular processes, such as proliferation, survival, differentiation, adhesion and matrix remodeling, their dysregulations are reported to cause a number of human diseases, including fibrotic disorders, atherosclerosis and cancer. DDR2 is initially produced with a signal peptide sequence (a.a. 1-21), the removal of which yields the mature protein with an extracellular region (a.a. 22-399), followed by a transmembrane segment (a.a. 400-421) and a cytoplasmic region (a.a. 422-855) that harbors the kinase domain (a.a. 563-849).
