Protein Domain : Folate receptor beta

Primary Identifier  IPR032937 Type  Family
Short Name  FOLR2
description  The folate receptors are involved in the transport and maintenance of intracellular levels of folate. Folate receptor alpha (FR-alpha, FOLR1) and beta (FR-beta, FOLR2) are glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-anchored proteins that facilitate unidirectional transport of folates into cells via receptor-mediated endocytosis [, ].This entry represents folate receptor beta. FOLR2 is expressed on the proinflammatory subset of monocytes and can be targeted selectively with folate-linked drugs [].
