Fermitin family homolog 2 (FERMT2) also known as pleckstrin homology domain-containing family C member 1 (PLEKHC1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FERMT2 gene.[1][2][3]

Contents

Function

FERMT2 is a component of extracellular matrix structures in mammalian cells and is required for proper control of cell shape change.[4]

Interactions

FERMT2 has been shown to interact with FBLIM1.[4]
