Background

FLOT2 (Flotillin 2), also known as ESA1 or M17S1, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FLOT2 gene. Schroeder et al. (1991) isolated a cDNA for an epidermal surface antigen believed to be involved in epidermal cell adhesion. By analysis of a somatic cell hybrid panel and in situ hybridization using the ESA cDNA, the gene was mapped to 17q11-q12 in the region containing the NF1 gene. Bickel et al. (1997) found that mouse Flot2 consistently copurifies with Flot1 and with caveolin-1 in the purification of caveolin-rich membranes. Using a quantitative proteomic analysis of cultured mouse neuronal stem cells, Li et al. (2012) found that palmitoylation and oligomerization of flotillin-2 was abolished in homozygous Dhhc5 mutant neuronal stem cells. The absolute amount of flotillin-2 was not changed in Dhhc5 mutant neurons.
