Furry Homolog Like Protein (FRYL)

FRYL Belongs to the furry protein family.Widely expressed with higher expression in colon, placenta, brain and cells of lymphoid origin.A chromosomal aberration involving FRYL is found in treatment-related acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Translocation t(4;11)(p12;q23) that forms a MLL-FRYL fusion protein.
Plays a key role in maintaining the integrity of polarized cell extensions during morphogenesis, regulates the actin cytoskeleton and plays a key role in patterning sensory neuron dendritic fields by promoting avoidance between homologous dendrites as well as by limiting dendritic branching (By similarity). May function as a transcriptional activator.
