Folliculin - CISMeF

Preferred Label : Folliculin;

NCIt synonyms : Birt-Hogg-Dube Syndrome Protein; BHD Skin Lesion Fibrofolliculoma Protein; FLCN; BHD; Folliculin Protein;

NCIt definition : Folliculin protein (579 aa, 64 kDa) is encoded by the human FLCN gene. This protein is purported to play a role in tumor suppresion, but an exact function has yet to be identified. Mutations and truncations in the protein have been implicated in the pathogenesis of fibrofolliculoma formation, Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome, and colorectal tumorigenesis.;
