    SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION     plasma membrane
    text
  • membrane associated protein of caveolae
  • cholesterol enriched microdomains (lipid rafts)
  • localized in microdomains different from caveolae, and the function of reggies is different from and independent of caveolin-1
  • basic FUNCTION
  • formation of filopodia
  • playing a role in formation of caveolae or caveolae-like vesicles and in cholesterol enriched microdomains (lipid rafts) formation
  • defining structural components of the machinery that mediates a clathrin-independent endocytic pathway
  • STX12, FLOT1, and ABCA1 were identified as phagosomal proteins, indicating the involvement of the phagosomal compartment in ABCA1-mediated lipid efflux
  • defining structural components of the machinery that mediates a clathrin-independent endocytic pathway
  • regulates caveolin-1 level by preventing its lysosomal degradation in intestinal epithelial cells
  • participate in signaling by GPI-anchored plasma membrane proteins and in regulation of the actin cytoskeleton reorganizations, and actin-dependent cell adhesion and motility
  • with FLOT2 co-assemble into plasma membrane microdomains that are involved in the endocytosis of molecules such as glycosyl phosphatidylinositol (GPI)-linked proteins, regulated by FYN kinase
  • FLOT1 signaling pathway for hippocampal neurite branching is regulated by LRFN3
  • a critical role of Flot1-enriched membrane microdomains in protein kinase C-triggered DAT endocytosis and the actions of amphetamine (
  • plays a direct role during both the early phase and late phase of growth factor signaling
  • a scaffolding factor in the regulation of classical MAP kinase signaling
  • FLOT1, FLOT2-dependent endocytosis is unlikely to be a major pathway in the syncytiotrophoblast (ST), but may be important in the cytotrophoblasts (CTs) and endothelium
  • functional role for flotillins, especially FLOT2, in cell-cell adhesion in non-malignant epithelial cells

    a component
  • component of rafts/microdomains
  • forming a ternary complex with CBL and the adaptor protein CAP that could be crucial in the regulation of glucose uptake
  • organized as homo- and hetero-tetramers
  • INTERACTION

    small molecule
    protein
  • PTOV1
  • adapter protein CAP and Cbl proto-oncogene (
  • Neuroglobin, Ngb (
  • Arginase (
  • caveolin 1, CAV1 and caveolin 2, CAV2
  • amyloid precursor protein, APP (
  • LGI3 interacts with flotillin-1 (FLOT1), to mediate APP trafficking and exosome formation
  • is a molecular mediator of neurite branching for LRFN3
  • functional role of FLOT1, FLOT2 in NPC1L1-mediated cholesterol uptake, elucidating the formation of NPC1L1-FLOT1, FLOT2-positive cholesterol-enriched membrane microdomains as a mechanism for efficient cholesterol absorption
  • EGFR, CRAF, MEK1, ERK, and KSR1
  • by promoting EGFR internalization, FLOT1, FLOT2 restrict the EGFR signaling involved in CDH1 macropinocytosis and recycling and regulate adherens junctions (AJs) formation and dynamics and thereby cell adhesion
