Predicted to enable ionotropic glutamate receptor binding activity and protease binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of cell-cell adhesion mediated by cadherin; positive regulation of cellular component organization; and positive regulation of dopaminergic synaptic transmission. Acts upstream of or within axonogenesis and regulation of Rho protein signal transduction. Located in caveola; external side of plasma membrane; and sarcolemma. Part of flotillin complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human FLOT1 (flotillin 1).

PHENOTYPE: Mice homozygous for a knock-out allele exhibit impaired neutrophil recruitment. Homozygous double KO with Flot2 increases susceptibility to induced necroptosis. [provided by MGI curators]
