Sequence and expression of the zebrafish alpha‐actinin gene family reveals conservation and diversification among vertebrates
19 Oct 2009
Abstract excerpt
Alpha-actinins are actin microfilament crosslinking proteins. Vertebrate actinins fall into two classes: the broadly-expressed actinins 1 and 4 (actn1 and actn4) and muscle-specific actinins, actn2 and actn3. Members of this family have numerous roles, including regulation of cell adhesion, cell differentiation, directed cell motility, intracellular signaling, and stabilization of f-actin at the sarcomeric Z-line...
