FLCN
May play a role in the pathogenesis of an uncommon form of kidney cancer through its association with an inherited disorder of the hair follicle (fibrofolliculomas). May be a tumor suppressor. May be involved in colorectal tumorigenesis. May be involved in energy and/or nutrient sensing through the AMPK and mTOR signaling pathways. May regulate phosphorylation of RPS6KB1. Interacts (via C-terminus) with FNIP1 and FNIP2 (via C- terminus). This mediates indirect interaction with the PRKAA1, PRKAB1 and PRKAG1 subunits of 5'-AMP-activated protein kinase. Expressed in most tissues tested, including skin, lung, kidney, heart, testis and stomach. Belongs to the folliculin family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
