Background

FLOT1 (Flotillin 1), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FLOT1 gene. The International Radiation Hybrid Mapping Consortium mapped the FLOT1 gene to chromosome 6. Bickel et al. (1997) found that mouse Flot1 behaves as a resident integral membrane protein of caveolae. It consistently copurified with Flot2 and with caveolin-1 in the purification of caveolin-rich membranes. Hazarika et al. (1999) found that stable transfection of Flot1, which they called ESA/flotillin-2, in COS-1 cells induced filopodia formation and changed the epithelial morphology to that of neuronal cells. Santamaria et al. (2005) found that prostate tumor overexpressed gene-1 interacted with flotillin-1 in detergent-insoluble membrane fractions. Flotillin-1 colocalized with PTOV1 at the plasma membrane and in the nucleus, and it entered the nucleus concomitant with PTOV1 shortly before initiation of S phase.
