gene: flcn-1 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to contribute to GTPase activator activity. Predicted to be involved in negative regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II; positive regulation of TORC1 signaling; and positive regulation of transforming growth factor beta receptor signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in cytosol. Expressed in excretory cell; nervous system; spermatheca; and vulva. Used to study Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome; primary spontaneous pneumothorax; and renal cell carcinoma. Is an ortholog of human FLCN (folliculin).
