This gene encodes a member of the folliculin-interacting protein family.
The encoded protein binds to the tumor suppressor folliculin and to AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK) and be involved in cellular metabolism and nutrient sensing by regulating the AMPK-mechanistic target of rapamycin signaling pathway.
A homologous binding partner of this protein, folliculin-interacting protein 2, has similar binding activities and may suggest functional redundancy within this protein family.
Both folliculin-interacting proteins have also been shown to bind the molecular chaperone heat shock protein-90 (Hsp90) and they may function as a co-chaperones in the stabilization of tumor suppressor folliculin which is a target of Hsp90 chaperone activity.
