FLRT1


Fibronectin leucine rich transmembrane protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FLRT1 gene.

Function

This gene encodes a member of the fibronectin leucine rich transmembrane protein family. The family members may function in cell adhesion and/or receptor signalling. Their protein structures resemble small leucine-rich proteoglycans found in the extracellular matrix. The encoded protein shares sequence similarity with two other family members, FLRT2 and FLRT3. This gene is expressed in the kidney and brain.
