Formin-like protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FMNL2 gene.^[5]^[6]

Expression

Alternatively spliced transcript variants of the FMNL2 gene encoding different isoforms have been described.^[5] The full length FMNL2 (FRL3) protein (1092 amino acids-NCBI Reference Sequence: NP_443137.2^[7]) is regulated through autoinhibition, and may become activated through Rho proteins.^[8] The FMNL2 gene is expressed in multiple human tissues.^[9]

Function

Formin-like protein 2 is a formin-related protein. Formin-related proteins have been implicated in morphogenesis, cytokinesis, and cell polarity.^[5]

Clinical significance

FMNL2 expression is considerably higher in colorectal cancer tumors compared to normal tissue.^[10]

Clinical studies showed that single nucleotide polymorphisms in the FMNL2 gene are associated with cardio and cerebrovascular risk factors and Alzheimer's disease ^[11] FMNL2 links vascular disease to increased risk of Alzheimer's disease by regulating the interaction between astrocytes and blood vessels in healthy and Alzheimer's disease brains.^[12]
