Ankyrin 1 Proteins and Enzymes

Ankyrins are a family of proteins that link the integral membrane proteins to the underlying spectrin-actincytoskeleton and play key roles in activities such as cell motility, activation, proliferation, contact and themaintenance of specialized membrane domains. Multiple isoforms of ankyrin with different affinities for various targetproteins are expressed in a tissue-specific, developmentally regulated manner. Most ankyrins are typically composed ofthree structural domains: an amino-terminal ...
