Entrez Gene summary for FERMT1 Gene:

This gene encodes a member of the fermitin family, and contains a FERM domain and a pleckstrin homology domain.

The encoded protein is involved in integrin signaling and linkage of the actin cytoskeleton to the extracellular

matrix. Mutations in this gene have been linked to Kindler syndrome. (provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009)

GeneCards Summary for FERMT1 Gene:

FERMT1 (fermitin family member 1) is a protein-coding gene. Diseases associated with FERMT1 include hereditary acrokeratotic poikiloderma, weary type, and kindler syndrome. GO annotations related to this gene include phospholipid binding. An important paralog of this gene is FERMT2.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot: FERM1_HUMAN, Q9BQL6

Function: Involved in cell adhesion. Contributes to integrin activation. When coexpressed with talin, potentiates

activation of ITGA2B. Required for normal keratinocyte proliferation. Required for normal polarization of basal

keratinocytes in skin, and for normal cell shape. Required for normal adhesion of keratinocytes to fibronectin

and laminin, and for normal keratinocyte migration to wound sites. May mediate TGF-beta 1 signaling in tumor

progression

Domain: The FERM domain is not correctly detected by PROSITE or Pfam techniques because it contains the insertion

of a PH domain. The FERM domain contains the subdomains F1, F2 and F3. It is preceded by a F0 domain with a

ubiquitin-like fold. The F0 domain is required for integrin activation and for localization at focal adhesions

Similarity: Belongs to the kindlin family

Kindler syndrome (KINDS) [MIM:173650]: Autosomal recessive skin disorder characterized by skin

blistering, photosensitivity, progressive poikiloderma, and extensive skin atrophy. Additional clinical features

include gingival erosions, ocular, esophageal, gastrointestinal and urogenital involvement, and an increased risk

of mucocutaneous malignancy. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this

entry. Although most FERMT1 mutations are predicted to lead to premature termination of translation, and to loss

of FERMT1 function, significant clinical variability is observed among patients. There is an association of

FERMT1 missense and in-frame deletion mutations with milder disease phenotypes, and later onset of complications

(PubMed:21936020)
