    GlossaryFolliculin (FLCN gene)

    protein regulating cell growth and energy metabolism

    Folliculin, also known as FLCN, is a protein encoded by the FLCN gene. It plays a crucial role in regulating cell growth and energy metabolism. Mutations in the FLCN gene are associated with Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome, a condition that can lead to hair follicle tumors, lung cysts, and an increased risk of kidney cancer.
