Summaries for FLG Gene

Entrez Gene Summary for FLG Gene

  • The protein encoded by this gene is an intermediate filament-associated protein that aggregates keratin intermediate filaments in mammalian epidermis. It is initially synthesized as a polyprotein precursor, profilaggrin (consisting of multiple filaggrin units of 324 aa each), which is localized in keratohyalin granules, and is subsequently proteolytically processed into individual functional filaggrin molecules. Mutations in this gene are associated with ichthyosis vulgaris.[provided by RefSeq, Dec 2009]

Post-translational modifications for FLG Gene

  • Filaggrin is initially synthesized as a large, insoluble, highly phosphorylated precursor containing many tandem copies of 324 AA, which are not separated by large linker sequences. During terminal differentiation it is dephosphorylated and proteolytically cleaved. The N-terminal of the mature protein is heterogeneous, and is blocked by the formation of pyroglutamate.
  • Undergoes deimination of some arginine residues (citrullination).

  • Dermatitis atopic 2 (ATOD2) [MIM:605803]: Atopic dermatitis is a complex, inflammatory disease with multiple alleles at several loci thought to be involved in the pathogenesis. It commonly begins in infancy or early childhood and is characterized by a chronic relapsing form of skin inflammation, a disturbance of epidermal barrier function that culminates in dry skin, and IgE-mediated sensitization to food and environmental allergens. It is manifested by lichenification, excoriation, and crusting, mainly on the flexural surfaces of the elbow and knee. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:16550169, ECO:0000269 PubMed:16815158, ECO:0000269 PubMed:17030239, ECO:0000269 PubMed:17291859}. Note=Disease susceptibility is associated with variations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
  • Ichthyosis vulgaris (VI) [MIM:146700]: The most common form of ichthyosis inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. It is characterized by palmar hyperlinearity, keratosis pilaris and a fine scale that is most prominent over the lower abdomen, arms, and legs. Ichthyosis vulgaris is characterized histologically by absent or reduced keratohyalin granules in the epidermis and mild hyperkeratosis. The disease can be associated with frequent asthma, eczema or hay fever. {ECO:0000269 PubMed:16444271}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.
