Entrez ID 2350
Gene name Folate receptor beta
Gene symbol FOLR2
Synonyms (NCBI Gene)
BETA-HFRFBPFBP/PL-1FOLR1FR-BETAFR-P3FRbeta
Chromosome 11
Chromosome location 11q13.4
Summary The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the folate receptor (FOLR) family, and these genes exist in a cluster on chromosome 11. Members of this gene family have a high affinity for folic acid and for several reduced folic acid derivatives, and the
