Product details:
Human FGFR2 - Extracellular SimpleStep ELISA® kit is a single-wash 90 min sandwich ELISA designed for the quantitative measurement of FGFR2 - Extracellular protein in human serum, plasma, saliva and cell culture supernatant. Quantitate Human FGFR2 - Extracellular with 5.241 pg/ml sensitivity.
SimpleStep ELISA® technology employs capture antibodies conjugated to an affinity tag that is recognized by the monoclonal antibody used to coat our SimpleStep ELISA® plates. This approach to sandwich ELISA allows the formation of the antibody-analyte sandwich complex in a single step, significantly reducing assay time. See the SimpleStep ELISA® protocol summary in the image section for further details. Our SimpleStep ELISA® technology provides several benefits:
-Single-wash protocol reduces assay time to 90 minutes or less
-High sensitivity, specificity and reproducibility from superior antibodies
-Fully validated in biological samples
-96-wells plate breakable into 12 x 8 wells strips
A 384-well SimpleStep ELISA® microplate (
ab203359
) is available to use as an alternative to the 96-well microplate provided with SimpleStep ELISA® kits.

The fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2) also known as CD332 is a protein that functions as a transmembrane receptor tyrosine kinase. FGFR2 is important in signal transduction where it binds to fibroblast growth factors triggering downstream intracellular pathways. FGFR2 has two main isoforms FGFR2b and FGFR2c created through alternative splicing. The molecular weight of FGFR2 varies by isoform typically around 100-110 kDa. It gets expressed in various tissues including epithelial and mesenchymal tissues.
Biological function summary
FGFR2 plays a role in diverse cellular processes like proliferation differentiation and migration. As part of a receptor-ligand complex FGFR2 partners with fibroblast growth factors to initiate signaling cascades. It contributes to embryonic development tissue repair and angiogenesis. FGFR2b expression predominantly appears in epithelial cells while FGFR2c is found in mesenchymal cells reflecting its distinct role in tissue-specific signaling.
Pathways
FGFR2 integrates into key signaling networks especially the MAPK and PI3K/AKT pathways. It interacts with proteins like FRS2 and GRB2 which facilitate the activation of downstream signals promoting cell survival and growth. FGFR2's engagement in these pathways is critical for maintaining normal cellular functions and contributes to its involvement in regulating complex cellular responses.
FGFR2 mutations have connections with certain cancers and craniosynostosis syndromes. Alterations in FGFR2 signaling pathways can lead to aberrant cellular growth and have been found in various cancers including breast and gastric cancer. In craniosynostosis syndromes mutations in FGFR2 affect bone development linking it with disorders like Apert syndrome. These conditions demonstrate the pivotal role of FGFR2 in maintaining cellular homeostasis and the consequences of its dysfunction.
