Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 5.2.0)
Predicted to enable GTPase activator activity. Involved in several processes, including energy homeostasis; negative regulation of brown fat cell differentiation; and negative regulation of nitrogen compound metabolic process. Acts upstream of or within with a positive effect on negative regulation of cell population proliferation. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of cell proliferation involved in kidney development; positive regulation of transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway; and regulation of intracellular signal transduction. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cilium; lysosomal membrane; and microtubule cytoskeleton. Predicted to be active in cytosol. Predicted to colocalize with cell-cell contact zone and midbody. Is expressed in several structures, including embryo ectoderm; exocrine gland; extraembryonic component; limb bud; and optic cup. Used to study Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome and nonpapillary 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).
