Fragilis is an IFN-induced transmembrane protein that belongs to the highly conserved fragilis protein family. It consists of an N-terminal signal sequence, 2 putative transmembrane domains, 3 potential phosphorylation sites and C-terminal Leucine-zipper. It is expressed in early embryos and nascent primordial germ cells and is associated with Germ cell specification and development. It is cell surface protein and might be important in mediating interactions amongst germ cells and their surrounding neighbors. It is also suggested that it might be involved in anti-proliferative signaling and homotypic cell adhesion.
