products description :
Background: Mammalian FAT1 is a large transmembrane protein of the protocadherin superfamily first identified in Drosophila melanogaster. FAT1 is widely expressed in mammalian tissues, and it is particularly enriched in kidney glomerular epithelial cells. Human Protocadherin Fat1 is a single-pass type I membrane protein, contains 4950 amino acids. It may play an important role in regulating growth and cell adhesion.

ncbi summary :
This gene is an ortholog of the Drosophila fat gene, which encodes a tumor suppressor essential for controlling cell proliferation during Drosophila development. The gene product is a member of the cadherin superfamily, a group of integral membrane proteins characterized by the presence of cadherin-type repeats. In addition to containing 34 tandem cadherin-type repeats, the gene product has five epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like repeats and one laminin A-G domain. This gene is expressed at high levels in a number of fetal epithelia. Its product probably functions as an adhesion molecule and/or signaling receptor, and is likely to be important in developmental processes and cell communication. Transcript variants derived from alternative splicing and/or alternative promoter usage exist, but they have not been fully described. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
