FMNL1

Formin-like protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FMNL1 gene.[1][2]

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.[2]

Interactions

FMNL1 has been shown to interact with Profilin 1,[3] PFN2[3] and RAC1.[3]
