Flotillins, also called reggie proteins, form a family of two ubiquitously expressed and highly conserved proteins, i.e., flotillin-1 and flotillin-2. Despite being products of different genes, both flotillins have a molecular weight of approximately 48 kDa and their sequences are quite similar (50% identity on mRNA level and 44% on protein level). | '''Flotillins''', also called reggie proteins, form a family of two ubiquitously expressed and highly conserved proteins, i.e., flotillin-1 and flotillin-2.

Flotillins are expressed in all mammals but they are also present in bacteria, plants, fungi and metazoans, but not in the budding yeast and C. elegant. | Flotillins are expressed in all mammals but they are also present in bacteria, plants, fungi and metazoans, but not in the budding yeast and C. elegant. | ||
