We apologize for Proteopedia being slow to respond. For the past two years, a new implementation of Proteopedia has been being built. Soon, it will replace this 18-year old system. All existing content will be moved to the new system at a date that will be announced here.
Spectrin
From Proteopedia
Spectrin forms scaffolding in plasma membranes and cytoskeletal structure. It interacts with actin at either end of its tetramer. The SPT dimer is formed by association of alpha1 and beta1 monomers. In invertebrates there are SPT alpha, beta and betaH. In vertebrates there are SPT alpha1 (SPTA1), alpha2 (SPTA2) and beta1 (SPTB1) to beta5. SPT contains an SRC Homology 3 domain (SH3), a Pleckstrin Homology (PH) domain and a Calponin Homology (CH) domain.
