MeSH definition : A plakin characterized by repeat sequences homologous to SPECTRIN and PLECTIN and
C-terminal EF HAND MOTIFS. It functions as an integrator of INTERMEDIATE FILAMENTS,
ACTIN and MICROTUBULES in cytoskeleton networks. It is required for anchoring intermediate
filaments to the actin cytoskeleton in neural and muscle cells as well as anchoring
KERATIN-containing intermediate filaments to HEMIDESMOSOMES in EPITHELIAL CELLS.;
