Abstract:Discoidin domain receptor 2 (DDR2) is a receptor tyrosine kinase (RTK) that can be activated by fibrillar collagens (ⅠⅢ , Ⅹ).Recently researchers show that the DDR2 is expressed differently in many cancers,which suggests DDR2 is probably correlated with tumorigenesis and cancer development,and it may become a promising cancer therapeutic target.
