Gene: FLNB
Alternate names for this Gene: ABP-278|ABP-280|AOI|FH1|FLN-B|FLN1L|LRS1|SCT|TABP|TAP
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a member of the filamin family. The encoded protein interacts with glycoprotein Ib alpha as part of the process to repair vascular injuries. The platelet glycoprotein Ib complex includes glycoprotein Ib alpha, and it binds the actin cytoskeleton. Mutations in this gene have been found in several conditions: atelosteogenesis type 1 and type 3; boomerang dysplasia; autosomal dominant Larsen syndrome; and spondylocarpotarsal synostosis syndrome. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms have been described for this gene.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 3
Location in Chromosome : 3p14.3
Description of this Gene: filamin B
