ANKS3 Proteins and Enzymes

ANKS3 (ankyrin repeat and SAM domain-containing protein 3) contains 6 ANK (ankyrin) repeats and a SAM (sterile alpha motif) domain. Each ANK repeat consists of a 30-34 amino acid sequence that exhibits a helix-turn-helix conformation and functions to mediate protein-protein interactions. The SAM domain is a 70 amino acid domain that also functions to mediate protein-protein interactions for homo- and hetero- oligomerization. The function of ANKS3 has not been characterized.
