CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF TWO CENTRAL SPECTRIN-LIKE REPEATS FROM ALPHA-ACTININ
Template:ABSTRACT PUBMED 10481917
Disease
[ACTN2_HUMAN] Defects in ACTN2 are the cause of cardiomyopathy dilated type 1AA (CMD1AA) [MIM:612158]. Dilated cardiomyopathy is a disorder characterized by ventricular dilation and impaired systolic function, resulting in congestive heart failure and arrhythmia. Patients are at risk of premature death.[1]
Function
[ACTN2_HUMAN] F-actin cross-linking protein which is thought to anchor actin to a variety of intracellular structures. This is a bundling protein.
