Official Full Name: filamin binding LIM protein 1<br />Also known as: CAL; FBLP1; FBLP-1<br />This gene encodes a protein with an N-terminal silk protein-binding domain, a proline-rich central domain, and multiple C-terminal LIM domains. This protein localizes at cell junctions, possibly linking cell adhesion structures to the actin cytoskeleton. This protein may be involved in the assembly and stabilization of actin filaments and may play a role in regulating cell adhesion, cell morphology and cell motility. This protein is also localized in the nucleus and may affect cardiomyocyte differentiation after binding to the CSX/NKX2-5 transcription factor. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms.
