The FLRT3 gene encodes a transmembrane cell-adhesion protein. The protein structure includes a cluster of leucine-rich repeats and one fibronectin type III domain within its extracellular region . These structural features are similar to small leucine-rich proteoglycans found in the extracellular matrix .
FLRT3 is expressed in many tissues and plays a crucial role in various biological processes. It functions in cell-cell adhesion, cell migration, and axon guidance . Depending on its interaction partners, FLRT3 can exert either attractive or repulsive roles. For instance, it interacts with ADGRL3 and other latrophilins to mediate cell-cell adhesion . Additionally, FLRT3 is involved in the spatial organization of brain neurons and vascular development in the retina .
FLRT3 has been associated with several diseases, including Hypogonadotropic Hypogonadism 21 and Kallmann Syndrome . It also plays a role in neuropathic pain. Increased expression of FLRT3 in the dorsal root ganglion has been shown to induce neuropathic pain in rats . This suggests that FLRT3 is involved in the regulation of neuronal excitability and pain sensitization following nerve injury .
Research on FLRT3 continues to uncover its diverse roles in cell adhesion, migration, and signaling. The human recombinant form of FLRT3, produced in HEK cells, is used in various studies to understand its function and potential therapeutic applications.
