MeSH definition : A microtubule-associated protein consisting of four ANKYRIN REPEATS and a C-terminal
FERM DOMAIN. It links the CYTOSKELETON to CELL JUNCTIONS via integrin cytoplasmic
domain-associated protein-1 and plays an important role in regulating cell proliferation
and integrity of endothelial cell junctions. It is also involved in REACTIVE OXYGEN
SPECIES metabolism. Mutations in the KRIT1 gene are associated with type I CEREBRAL
CAVERNOUS MALFORMATIONS.;
