Summary
Ankyrins are a family of proteins that link the integral membrane proteins to the underlying spectrin-actin cytoskeleton and play key roles in activities such as cell motility, activation, proliferation, contact and the maintenance of specialized membrane domains. Multiple isoforms of ankyrin with different affinities for various target proteins are expressed in a tissue-specific, developmentally regulated manner. Most ankyrins are typically composed of three structural domains: an amino-terminal domain containing multiple ankyrin repeats; a central region with a highly conserved spectrin binding domain; and a carboxy-terminal regulatory domain which is the least conserved and subject to variation. Ankyrin 1, the prototype of this family, was first discovered in the erythrocytes, but since has also been found in brain and muscles. Mutations in erythrocytic ankyrin 1 have been associated in approximately half of all patients with hereditary spherocytosis. Complex patterns of alternative splicing in the regulatory domain, giving rise to different isoforms of ankyrin 1 have been described. Truncated muscle-specific isoforms of ankyrin 1 resulting from usage of an alternate promoter have also been identified. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.

    Description
    Transcript Variant: This variant (5) lacks multiple 5' exons, but has an alternate 5' exon, which includes an AUG start codon, and it also has an alternate segment in the 3' coding region, which includes a stop codon, compared to variant 1. The resulting isoform (5, also referred to as Ank 1.5 and sAnk1) has a much shorter and distinct N-terminus and also has a distinct C-terminus, compared to isoform 1. This small isoform binds to the C-terminus of obscurin, a giant protein surrounding the contractile apparatus in striated muscle, and the binding may be essential for the proper alignment of the network sarcoplasmic reticulum.

The resulting isoform (7) has a much shorter and distinct N-terminus, and lacks a segment in the C-terminal region, compared to isoform 1.

Suppressed Reference Sequence(s)

The following Reference Sequences have been suppressed. Explain

  1. NM_020479.2: Suppressed sequence

    Description
    NM_020479.2: This RefSeq was permanently suppressed because currently there is insufficient support for the transcript and the protein.
  2. NM_020481.2: Suppressed sequence

    Description
    NM_020481.2: This RefSeq was permanently suppressed because currently there is insufficient support for the transcript and the protein.
