Fibroblast Growth Factor Receptor 2 (FGFR2) is a protein that plays a crucial role in cell growth, differentiation, and tissue repair. It is particularly important in the development of bones and skin, and mutations in the FGFR2 gene can lead to various developmental disorders and contribute to conditions like craniosynostosis and certain cancers.
