Flotillin 2 (flot-2) is a highly conserved protein isolated from caveolae/lipid raft domains that tether growth factor receptors linked to signal transduction pathways. Flot-2 binds to [[PAR-1]], a known upstream mediator of major signal transduction pathways implicated in cell growth and [[metastasis]], and may influence [[tumour]] progression.<ref name="pmid15492257">{{cite journal |vauthors=Hazarika P, McCarty MF, Prieto VG, George S, Babu D, Koul D, Bar-Eli M, Duvic M | title = Up-regulation of Flotillin-2 is associated with melanoma progression and modulates expression of the thrombin receptor protease activated receptor 1. | journal = Cancer Res. | volume = 64 | issue = 20 | pages = 7361–9 |date=Oct 2004 | pmid = 15492257 | pmc =  | doi =10.1158/0008-5472.CAN-04-0823  }}</ref>

Flotillin-2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FLOT2 gene.[1][2] Flotillin 2 (flot-2) is a highly conserved protein isolated from caveolae/lipid raft domains that tether growth factor receptors linked to signal transduction pathways. Flot-2 binds to PAR-1, a known upstream mediator of major signal transduction pathways implicated in cell growth and metastasis, and may influence tumour progression.[3]

Caveolae are small domains on the inner cell membrane involved in vesicular trafficking and signal transduction. This gene encodes a caveolae-associated, integral membrane protein, which is thought to function in neuronal signaling.[2]
