Formin-like protein 1 (FMNL1, formin-related protein, Frl) is a 1,094 amino acid protein encoded by the mouse gene Fmnl1. FMNL1 belongs to the formin homology family and has one DAD (diaphanous autoregulatory domain), one FH2 (formin homology 2) domain, and one GBD/FH3 (Rho GTPase-binding/formin homology 3) domain. Formins are a conserved class of proteins expressed in all eukaryotes, with known roles in generating cellular Actin-based structures. FMNL1 is believed to play a role in the control of cell motility and survival of macrophages. FMNL1 has been found to interact with Rac 1, PFN1 and PFN2 and can block apoptotic cell death and inhibit cell adhesion and migration. FMNL1 is located in the cytoplasm and is highly expressed in the spleen, lymph nodes and bone marrow cells. |
