UniProt Comments for Flcn
FLCN: a protein that is expressed in most tissues and that has no significant homology to other proteins. Involved in nutrient sensing through the AMPK and mTOR signaling pathways. Regulates lysosome function by promoting the mTORC1-dependent sequestration of transcription factor EB (TFEB). Required for the recruitment of mTORC1 to lysosomes by Rag GTPases. Amino acid depletion leads to its recruitment to the surface of lysosomes where it directly binds RagA, an interaction that is promoted by FNIP1. May be a tumor suppressor. Loss of function mutations cause Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome (BHD), a disease characterized by fibrofolliculomas (hair follicle tumors), and predispositions for renal carcinoma, pneumothorax, and pulmonary cysts. These symptoms are similar to those that occur in TSC or tuberous sclerosis complex, suggesting the involvement in the same pathways as TSC1. Belongs to the folliculin family. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
