Folate Receptor Gamma (FOLR3)

Target
FOLR3
Molecular classification
Receptor, Secreted protein
01

Overview

Folate receptor gamma (FOLR3) is a secreted protein involved in folate uptake and homocysteine regulation. It is primarily expressed in hematopoietic tissues and has been implicated in fibrogenesis and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), suggesting its potential as a therapeutic target for liver fibrosis.

Other names
FR-GFR-gammagamma-hFRfolate receptor 3 (gamma)FRgamma
