Flrt1 - fibronectin leucine rich transmembrane protein 1

Enables fibroblast growth factor receptor binding activity. Involved in dendrite development; fibroblast growth factor receptor signaling pathway; and neuron projection extension. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of synapse assembly. Located in several cellular components, including neuron projection terminus; neuronal cell body membrane; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is integral component of plasma membrane. Colocalizes with focal adhesion. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; embryo mesenchyme; gut; neural ectoderm; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human FLRT1 (fibronectin leucine rich transmembrane protein 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
