FMNL1
Formin-like protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''FMNL1'' gene. 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. Interactions FMNL1 has been shown to interact with Profilin 1, PFN2 Profilin-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''PFN2'' gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a ubiquitous actin monomer-binding protein belonging to the profilin family. It is thought to regulate actin polymerization in response to ... and RAC1.

FMNL2
Formin-like protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''FMNL2'' gene. Expression Alternatively spliced transcript variants of the FMNL2 gene encoding different isoforms have been described. The full length FMNL2 (FRL3) protein (1092 amino acids-NCBI Reference Sequence: NP_443137.2) is regulated through autoinhibition, and may become activated through Rho family of GTPases, Rho proteins. The FMNL2 gene is expressed in multiple human tissues. Function Formin-like protein 2 is a formins, formin-related protein. Formin-related proteins have been implicated in morphogenesis, cytokinesis, and cell polarity. Clinical significance FMNL2 expression is considerably higher in colorectal cancer tumors compared to normal tissue. Clinical studies showed that single nucleotide polymorphisms in the FMNL2 gene are associated with cardio and cerebrovascular risk factors and Alzheimer's disease FMNL2 links vascular disease to increased risk of Alzheimer's disease by regulatin ...

Profilin 1
Profilin-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''PFN1'' gene. Function The protein encoded by this gene is a ubiquitous actin monomer-binding protein belonging to the profilin family. It is thought to regulate actin polymerization in response to extracellular signals. Deletion of this gene is associated with Miller-Dieker syndrome. Mutations in this gene may be a rare cause of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, also called Lou Gehrig's disease.

PFN2
Profilin-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''PFN2'' gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a ubiquitous actin monomer-binding protein belonging to the profilin family. It is thought to regulate actin polymerization in response to extracellular signals. There are two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms described for this gene. Interactions PFN2 has been shown to interact with ROCK1, Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ''VASP'' gene. Function Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein (VASP) is a member of the Ena-VASP protein family. Ena-VASP family members contain an N-terminal ..., CCDC113 and FMNL1.

Protein
Proteins are large biomolecules and macromolecules that comprise one or more long chains of amino acid residues. Proteins perform a vast array of functions within organisms, including catalysing metabolic reactions, DNA replication, responding to stimuli, providing structure to cells and organisms, and transporting molecules from one location to another. Proteins differ from one another primarily in their sequence of amino acids, which is dictated by the nucleotide sequence of their genes, and which usually results in protein folding into a specific 3D structure that determines its activity. A linear chain of amino acid residues is called a polypeptide. A protein contains at least one long polypeptide. Short polypeptides, containing less than 20–30 residues, are rarely considered to be proteins and are commonly called peptides. The individual amino acid residues are bonded together by peptide bonds and adjacent amino acid residues. The sequence of amino acid ...

Gene
In biology, the word gene (from , ; "... Wilhelm Johannsen coined the word gene to describe the Mendelian units of heredity..." meaning ''generation'' or ''birth'' or ''gender'') can have several different meanings. The Mendelian gene is a basic unit of heredity and the molecular gene is a sequence of nucleotides in DNA that is transcribed to produce a functional RNA. There are two types of molecular genes: protein-coding genes and noncoding genes. During gene expression, the DNA is first copied into RNA. The RNA can be directly functional or be the intermediate template for a protein that performs a function. The transmission of genes to an organism's offspring is the basis of the inheritance of phenotypic traits. These genes make up different DNA sequences called genotypes. Genotypes along with environmental and developmental factors determine what the phenotypes will be. Most biological traits are under the influence of polygenes (many different genes) as well as ...
