FLOT2 wt Allele

**Semantic type:** Gene or Genome

**Definition:** Human FLOT2 wild-type allele is located within 17q11-q12 and is approximately 18 kb in length. This allele, which encodes flotillin 2 protein, is involved in the maintenance of caveolae structure, cellular adhesion and neuronal signaling. The determination of the level of the expression of the wild-type allele may be utilized to characterize early carcinogenesis.

**Synonyms:** - ECS-1 - ECS1 - ESA - ESA1 - Flotillin 2 wt Allele - M17S1
