Fibroblast growth factor receptor 2 (FGFR2). Molecular models of the secondary structure (top) and the tertiary structure (bottom) of FGFR2, a receptor for the fibroblast growth factor (FGF) family of proteins. FGFs are involved in angiogenesis (growth of blood vessels), wound healing, and embryonic development. Mutation of the gene for FGFR2 can result in Apert Syndrome, a congenital disorder characterized by malformations of the skull, face, hands, and feet.
