DDR Basics
The Discoidin Domain Receptor (DDR) family are collagen receptors. R
DDR1 and DDR2 are tyrosine kinase receptors in the extracellular matrix that mediate mediate cell aggregation.
Both receptors are activated upon binding to collagen - DDR1 and DDR2 are unique in that they exhibit remarkably delayed and sustained receptor phosphorylation upon binding to collagen. R
DDR2 can only be activated by fibrillar collagen, particularly types I and III, DDR1 is mostly activated by type I and IV collagens. R
DDR In The Body
Loss of DDR1 or DDR2 causes major dysfunctions in:
- Cancer R
- Cardiovascular Health R
- Inflammatory Responses R
- Muscle / Skeletal Development R
- Reproduction R

Mechanism Of Action
Simple DDR1:
Simple DDR2:
- Increases COX2 R
- Increases ERK1/2 R
- Increases MMP-2 R
- Increases MMP-9 R
- Increases SNAIL1 R
- Increases TGFb1 R
Advanced:
- Unlike DDR2, five isoforms of DDR1 (DDR1a, b, c, d, and e) have been described as they exhibit differences in the extent of glycosylation, phosphorylation, protein interactions, expression patterns, and functions. R
- Binds to Shc1, Nck2, SHP-2, Cdc42, NF-κB, ERK1/2-MAPK, (AP)-1, STAT R
Genetics
DDR2
I638F
- Mutation known as I638F, has been shown to promote resistance to inhibitors of DDR2 kinase function R
