Disease

FNBP1_HUMAN Note=A chromosomal aberration involving FNBP1 is found in acute leukemias. Translocation t(9;11)(q34;q23) with MLL. The relatively low incidence of the MLL-FNBP1 fusion protein in acute leukemia may reflect the marginal capacity of this fusion protein to induce cellular transformation.

Function

FNBP1_HUMAN May act as a link between RND2 signaling and regulation of the actin cytoskeleton (By similarity). Required to coordinate membrane tubulation with reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton during the late stage of clathrin-mediated endocytosis. Binds to lipids such as phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate and phosphatidylserine and promotes membrane invagination and the formation of tubules. Also enhances actin polymerization via the recruitment of WASL/N-WASP, which in turn activates the Arp2/3 complex. Actin polymerization may promote the fission of membrane tubules to form endocytic vesicles. May be required for the lysosomal retention of FASLG/FASL.^{[1] [2] [3] [4] [5]}
