actinin, alpha 4 Protein, alpha-actinin Protein, ACTN4 Protein, ain1 Protein
Hintergrund
Alpha actinin is an actin-binding protein with multiple roles in different cell types. In nonmuscle cells, the cytoskeletal isoform is found along microfilament bundles and adherens-type junctions, where it is involved in binding actin to the membrane. In contrast, skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle isoforms are localized to the Z-disc and analogous dense bodies, where they help anchor the myofibrillar actin filaments. Description: Chicken gizzard. Alternative Names: alpha Actinin 1 protein, ACTN1 protein, FLJ40884 protein
