Model organisms have been used in the study of FARP2 function. A conditional knockout mouse line, called Farp2^{tm1a(KOMP)Wtsi}[12][13] was generated as part of the International Knockout Mouse Consortium program — a high-throughput mutagenesis project to generate and distribute animal models of disease to interested scientists.[14][15][16]

Male and female animals underwent a standardized phenotypic screen to determine the effects of deletion.[10][17] Twenty four tests were carried out on mutant mice and two significant abnormalities were observed.[10] Homozygous mutant animals had a thickened cerebral cortex and displayed abnormal hair shedding.[10]

Interactions

FARP2 has been shown to interact with PDZK1.[18]
