Description

RFTN1 encodes raftlin, a protein that localizes to lipid rafts and is involved in B-cell receptor signaling, cell adhesion, and migration. It links the plasma membrane to the actin cytoskeleton and may play a role in immune responses and cancer.

Mutations & Variants

Hotspot Mutations
Variant Type Frequency Functional Description
c.1045C>T Missense 0.01% p.Arg349Trp; uncertain significance
c.1234G>A Missense 0.005% p.Gly412Ser; uncertain significance
c.789_790insA Frameshift <0.001% Predicted loss of function
Mutation functional classification

Loss of Function (LOF)

Frameshift mutations (e.g., c.789_790insA) likely cause loss of raftlin function.

Gain of Function (GOF)

No confirmed gain-of-function mutations reported.

Dominant Negative (DN)

No evidence for dominant-negative effects.

Pathways

• B cell receptor signaling pathway
• Fc gamma R-mediated phagocytosis

Protein Summary

Raftlin is a 547-amino acid protein that contains a cysteine-rich domain and a coiled-coil region. It binds to the cytoplasmic tail of integrins and links lipid rafts to the actin cytoskeleton, facilitating cell adhesion and migration. It is highly expressed in lymphoid tissues and is implicated in immune signaling and cancer progression.
