Fermitin family homolog 2 (FERMT2)

Scaffolding protein which enhances integrin activation mediated by TLN1 and/or TLN2, but activates integrins only weakly by itself. Enhances integrin-mediated cell adhesion on the extracellular matrix and cell spreading; this requires both its ability to interact with integrins and with phospholipid membranes.

Required for the assembly of focal adhesions. Participates in the link between extracellular matrix adhesion sites and the actin cytoskeleton and in the orchestration of actin assembly and cell shape modulation.
