[5][6][7] The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the folate receptor (FOLR) family.

Members of this gene family have a high affinity for folic acid and for several reduced folic acid derivatives, and mediate delivery of 5-methyltetrahydrofolate to the interior of cells.

The FOLR2 protein was originally thought to exist only in placenta, but is also detected in spleen, bone marrow, and thymus.
