Summary: Predicted to enable enzyme binding activity and enzyme inhibitor activity. Predicted to contribute to GTPase activator activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including negative regulation of brown fat cell differentiation; negative regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process; and regulation of intracellular signal transduction. Predicted to act upstream of or within with a positive effect on negative regulation of cell population proliferation. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of epithelial cell proliferation and positive regulation of intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cell-cell contact zone; microtubule cytoskeleton; and midbody. Predicted to be part of FNIP-folliculin RagC/D GAP. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Used to study renal cell carcinoma. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome; colorectal cancer; primary spontaneous pneumothorax; and renal cell carcinoma. Orthologous to human FLCN (folliculin).

What's a GeneRIF?

serine 62 is a phosphorylation site in FLCN.
Title: Serine 62 is a phosphorylation site in folliculin, the Birt-Hogg-Dubé gene product.
phosphorylation of FLCN at Ser62 and Ser302 are differently regulated by mTORC1-dependent pathway.
Title: Regulation of folliculin (the BHD gene product) phosphorylation by Tsc2-mTOR pathway.
The Nihon rat is a useful tool for analyzing the events leading to renal tumorigenesis and for studying BHD gene functions.
Title: Natural history of the Nihon (Bhd gene mutant) rat, a novel model for human Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome.
a germ-line mutation in the BHD gene caused by the insertion of a single nucleotide in the Nihon rat, results in a frameshift and produces a stop codon 26 aa downstream; the homozygous mutant condition was lethal at an early stage of fetal life
Title: A germ-line insertion in the Birt-Hogg-Dubé (BHD) gene gives rise to the Nihon rat model of inherited renal cancer.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
