LRRFIP1 (Leucine-rich repeat flightless-interacting protein 1) is a protein that switches other genes on and off. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Leukaemia.
Transcriptional repressor which preferentially binds to the GC-rich consensus sequence (5'-AGCCCCCGGCG-3') and may regulate expression of TNF, EGFR and PDGFA. May control smooth muscle cells proliferation following artery injury through PDGFA repression. May also bind double-stranded RNA.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.65 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.83, affected pathway 0.94, genetic association 0.37).
In plain words · LRRFIP1 (Leucine-rich repeat flightless-interacting protein 1) is a protein that switches other genes on and off. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role. Tied to Leukaemia.

Transcriptional repressor which preferentially binds to the GC-rich consensus sequence (5'-AGCCCCCGGCG-3') and may regulate expression of TNF, EGFR and PDGFA. May control smooth muscle cells proliferation following artery injury through PDGFA repression. May also bind double-stranded RNA. Positively regulates Toll-like receptor (TLR) signalling in response to agonist probably by competing with the negative FLII regulator for MYD88-binding. Location: Nucleus; Cytoplasm (UniProt). Locus 2q37.3 (HGNC).
