FLRT3 is one of three FLRT (fibronectin, leucine rich repeat, transmembrane) glycoproteins expressed in distinct areas of the developing brain and other tissues (1, 2). The 85-95 kDa type I transmembrane (TM) human FLRT3 is synthesized as a 649 amino acid (aa) precursor with a 28 aa signal sequence, a 500 aa extracellular domain (ECD), a 21 aa TM segment and a 100 aa cytoplasmic region. The ECD contains 10 N-terminal leucine-rich repeats flanked by cysteine-rich areas, and a juxtamembrane fibronectin type III domain (1). The human FLRT3 ECD shares 96%, 96%, 97%, 97%, 98% and 81% aa sequence identity with mouse, rat, canine, bovine, equine and Xenopus FLRT3 ECD, respectively, and 61% and 48% aa identity to human FLRT2 and FLRT3 ECDs, respectively. The fibronectin domain is responsible for binding to FGF receptors, and is thought to regulate FGF signaling during development (2, 3). The LRR domains are responsible for both the localization in areas of cell contact and homotypic cell-cell association (4). This may be through direct interaction with other FLRT molecules, or alternatively, by regulating internalization of adhesion molecules such as cadherins (4, 5). Developmentally, FLRT3 is located in somitic regions on dermatomyotomal muscle precursors and myotomal cells before their migration to the myotome and syndetome, respectively (2). FLRT3 is also expressed at the midbrain/hindbrain boundary and in the apical ectodermal ridge where it may influence FGF signaling (2). Genetic deletion in mouse embryos results in defective headfold fusion and endoderm migration (6). Postnatally, FLRT3 mRNA is widely expressed (1). It is up-regulated and promotes neurite outgrowth following experimental peripheral nerve injury in rats (7, 8).
