MGI Phenotype FUNCTION: [Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] The protein encoded by this gene belongs to the ROBO family, part of the immunoglobulin superfamily of proteins that are highly conserved from fly to human. The encoded protein is a transmembrane receptor for the slit homolog 2 protein and functions in axon guidance and cell migration. Mutations in this gene are associated with vesicoureteral reflux, characterized by the backward flow of urine from the bladder into the ureters or the kidney. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2014]
PHENOTYPE: Homozygous mutants display postnatal lethality, abnormal ureteric bud development, multiple fused kidneys, multiple ureters, and abnormal commissural axon growth. [provided by MGI curators]

Protein Function and Prediction

Robo2 is a member of the Roundabout (Robo) family of immunoglobulin superfamily proteins that function as axon guidance and neuronal migration receptors (1;2).  In Drosophila, robo functions to control the decision by axons to cross the central nervous system midline (2).  It has been proposed that Robo2 signaling is a negative regulator on nephrin signaling to influence podocyte foot process architecture (3).

Expression/Localization

RT-PCR ELISA detected highest expression of ROBO2 in adult and fetal brain, adult ovary, and in most individual brain regions examined. Intermediate expression was detected in fetal liver and in adult lung, kidney, spleen, testis, and spinal cord (4). Little to no expression was detected in adult pancreas, heart, liver, and skeletal muscle (4).  Other researchers identified two splice variants of ROBO2, ROBO2a and ROBO2b (5).  RT-PCR detected ROBO2b expression in all tissues examined except skeletal muscle (5). ROBO2a showed a more restricted expression pattern, with highest expression in fetal brain and significantly lower levels in adult brain, kidney, spleen, testis, and spinal cord (5). Both isoforms were detected in human fetal brain at all developmental stages examined (5).  In the kidney, Robo2 is expressed at the basal surface of mouse podocytes and colocalizes with nephrin (3).

Background

Mutations in ROBO2 cause vesicoureteral reflux 2 (OMIM: # 610878), a condition that is characterized by the reflux of urine from the bladder into the ureters and sometimes into the kidneys, and is a risk factor for urinary tract infections (6).

Homozygous mice die at birth.  Examination of embryos determined that the mice have abnormal brain interneuron morphology as well as abnormal neurite morphology (7).

involves: 129 * C57BL/6 * FVB/N

Homozygous animals die shortly after birth and have multiplex, dysplastic kidneys with cysts and a short ureter (6).

involves: 129P2/OlaHsd * 129/Sv * C57BL/6 * CD-1

Similar to the other mouse models, homozygous mice fail to survive after birth and have an abnormal ureter morphology (8).

Robo2tm1Mrt/tm1Mrt; MGI:3043127

Not Specified

Homozygous animals have abnormal axon guidance and abnormal spinal cord lateral column morphology (9).
