Leucine-rich repeat transmembrane protein FLRT3 is a
protein that in humans is encoded by the FLRT3gene.[5][6]
FLRT1,
FLRT2 and FLRT3 are members of the
fibronectin leucine rich transmembrane protein (FLRT) family. They may function in cell adhesion and/or receptor signalling. Their protein structures resemble small
leucine-rich
proteoglycans found in the
extracellular matrix. FLRT3 shares 55%
amino acid sequence identity with FLRT1 and 44% identity with FLRT2. FLRT3 is expressed in
kidney,
brain,
pancreas, skeletal muscle,
lung,
liver,
placenta, and
heart. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding the same protein have been described for this gene.[6]
