FMNL1 cdna clone
FMNL1 cDNA Clone
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a formin-related protein. Formin-related proteins have been implicated in morphogenesis, cytokinesis, and cell polarity. An alternative splice variant has been described but its full length sequence has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
FMNL1: May play a role in the control of cell motility and survival of macrophages. Plays a role in the regulation of cell morphology and cytoskeletal organization. Required in the cortical actin filament dynamics and cell shape. Belongs to the formin homology family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 17q21
Cellular Component: cytosol; membrane; phagocytic vesicle; plasma membrane
Molecular Function: actin filament binding; GTPase activating protein binding; protein binding; Rac GTPase binding
Biological Process: actin filament severing; cortical actin cytoskeleton organization and biogenesis; regulation of cell shape
