Biological function summary
FXR1 is involved in the post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression important for normal cell function and development. It forms a complex with FMRP playing an important role in the transport and translation of specific subsets of mRNAs in neurons. This interaction suggests it contributes significantly to the synaptic plasticity mechanisms influencing learning and memory. Moreover FXR1 also seems to have functions in cell proliferation and muscle differentiation.
Pathways
FXR1 participates in key regulatory pathways of protein synthesis and neuronal communication. It is significant in the mTOR signaling pathway where it potentially interacts with other proteins like FXR2 and FMR1 to modulate translational control. FXR1's involvement in this pathway suggests a role in cellular growth and neuron-specific processes affecting how cells respond to various growth signals by altering protein synthesis rates.
