JAG2
JAG2 (jagged canonical Notch ligand 2) is a gene. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role.
Overview
Putative Notch ligand involved in the mediation of Notch signalling. Involved in limb development.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.59 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.94, affected pathway 0.91, animal model 0.53, genetic association 0.00).

Notes
top- Written by scripts/fetch-cancer-genes.ts from CIViC, Open Targets, IntOGen, HGNC and UniProt; the function text is UniProt's, condensed and in UK spelling. Roles: none stated by the sources. Evidence tier "association-only" is the strongest of those signals.
- Prevalence not recorded: none of the sources gives a positivity rate.
