Also known as DKFZp686J0811
Summary
FREM2 (FRAS1 related extracellular matrix 2, HGNC:25396) is a protein-coding gene on chromosome 13q13.3, encoding FRAS1-related extracellular matrix protein 2 (Q5SZK8). Extracellular matrix protein required for maintenance of the integrity of the skin epithelium and for maintenance of renal epithelia.
This gene encodes an integral membrane protein containing numerous CSPG (chondroitin sulfate proteoglycan element) repeats and Calx-beta domains. The encoded protein localizes to the basement membrane, forming a ternary complex that plays a role in epidermal-dermal interactions. This protein is important for the integrity of skin and renal epithelia. Mutations in this gene are associated with Fraser syndrome.

Literature-anchored findings (GeneRIF, showing 11)
- report on 2 fetuses affected by Fraser syndrome (FS); a homozygous IVS14 + 1G – A mutation in FREM2 was indentified; present report provides additional evidence that FS may be caused by complete or near-complete lack or loss of function of FREM2 protein (PMID:18203166)
- 1 new mutation in FREM2 was identified in families with Fraser syndrome. (PMID:18671281)
- Heterozygous missense mutations in FREM2 cause non-syndromic congenital abnormalities of the kidney and urinary tract in humans. (PMID:21900877)
- Amplification of the FREM2 gene is associated with mesenchymal differentiation in gliosarcoma. (PMID:22538188)
- In 15 of 590 families, we identified recessive mutations in the genes FRAS1, FREM2, GRIP1, FREM1, ITGA8, and GREM1, all of which function in the interaction of the ureteric bud and the metanephric mesenchyme. (PMID:24700879)
- Based on these data, we conclude that deficiency of FREM2, and possibly FRAS1, are associated with an increased risk of developing Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) and that loss of the FREM1/FREM2/FRAS1 complex, or its function, leads to anterior sac CDH development through its effects on mesothelial fold progression (PMID:29618029)
- Our results showed that p.Arg2167Trp had a weaker effect in interrupting interactions between FREM2 and FREM1 than FS-associated missense mutation p.Glu1972Lys. Overall, our data demonstrate that the homozygous mutation p.Arg2167Trp in FREM2 causes isolated Cryptophthalmos(CO), which will facilitate our better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the disease (PMID:29688405)
- FREM2 is thus proposed as a novel GB biomarker and a putative biomarker of glioblastoma stem cells. Both FREM2 and SPRY1 are expressed on the surface of the GB cells, while SPRY1 alone was found overexpressed in the cytosol of non-malignant astrocytes. (PMID:29734672)
- Our findings extend the spectrum of FREM2 mutations, and provide insights into opportunities for the prenatal diagnosis of isolated cryptophthalmos. Furthermore, our work highlights the importance of the FREM2 protein during the development of eyelids and the anterior segment of the eyeballs, establishes a suitable animal model for studying epithelial reopening during eyelid development and serves as a valuable reference (PMID:30802441)
- Novel loss of function variants in FRAS1 AND FREM2 underlie renal agenesis in consanguineous families. (PMID:32643034)
- Targeted resequencing of the 13q13 spondyloarthritis-linked locus identifies a rare variant in FREM2 possibly associated with familial spondyloarthritis. (PMID:35640836)

Alternative names: ECM3 homolog
All UniProt accessions (1): Q5SZK8
UniProt curated annotations — full annotation on UniProt →
Function. Extracellular matrix protein required for maintenance of the integrity of the skin epithelium and for maintenance of renal epithelia. Required for epidermal adhesion. Involved in the development of eyelids and the anterior segment of the eyeballs.
Subunit / interactions. Interacts with FREM1.
Subcellular location. Cell membrane.
Disease relevance. Fraser syndrome 2 (FRASRS2) [MIM:617666] A form of Fraser syndrome, an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by cryptophthalmos, cutaneous syndactyly, and urogenital abnormalities including renal agenesis or hypoplasia. Additional features include abnormalities of the larynx, ear malformations, and facial abnormalities. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Cryptophthalmos, unilateral or bilateral, isolated (CRYPTOP) [MIM:123570] An autosomal dominant, rare condition characterized by congenital eyelid malformation with an underlying malformed eye. It can be bilateral or unilateral and is classified into complete (typical), incomplete (atypical) and abortive (congenital symblepharon) forms. The skin of patients with complete cryptophthalmos extends uninterrupted from the forehead to the cheek, whereas incomplete cryptophthalmos exists when there is medial eyelid fusion, but coincident intact lateral structures. The symblepharon variety presents with fusion of the upper eyelid skin to the superior aspect of the globe. The complete variety is the most common form. The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Domain organisation. The Calx-beta domains bind calcium with high affinity and undergo a major conformational shift upon binding.
Similarity. Belongs to the FRAS1 family.
