Fermitin family homolog 2 (FERMT2) also known as pleckstrin homology domain-containing family C member 1 (PLEKHC1) or kindlin-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FERMT2 gene.^[5]^[6]^[7]

Kindlin-2 is the first of the kindlin protein to be discovered in 1994. It was detected in a screen for epidermal growth factor (EGF)-induced mRNAs and initially named mitogen-inducible gene 2 (Mig-2) protein.^[5]

Function

FERMT2 is a component of extracellular matrix structures in mammalian cells and is required for proper control of cell shape change.^[8]

A major task of kindlins is to regulate the activation of integrins.^[9]

Interactions

FERMT2 has been shown to interact with FBLIM1.^[8]

Role in health and diseases

Loss of kindlin-2 in mice leads to peri-implantation lethality.^[10]
Kindlin-2 is highly expressed in activated myofibroblasts for regulation of focal adhesion formation.^[11]
Deletion of Kindlin-2 retards insulin secretion and reduces β-cell mass in mice.^[12]
Elevated kindlin-2 expression was observed in tubular intestinal fibrosis of the kidney, a condition is characterized by massive expansion of the cortical interstitium, conversion of fibroblasts into myofibroblasts and progressive EMT of tubular epithelial cells.^[13]
Kindlin-2 is required for angiogenesis and blood vessel homeostasis.^[14]
Kindlin-2 can exert tumor-promoting or tumor-inhibiting functions based on tumor-type-dependent.^[15]
FERMT2 modulates the Alzheimer's Disease risk by regulating APP metabolism and Aβ peptide production.^[16]
