UniProt functional annotation for P07751

UniProt code: P07751.

Organism:		Gallus gallus (Chicken).
Taxonomy:		Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Archelosauria; Archosauria; Dinosauria; Saurischia; Theropoda; Coelurosauria; Aves; Neognathae; Galloanserae; Galliformes; Phasianidae; Phasianinae; Gallus.
Function:		Morphologically, spectrin-like proteins appear to be related to spectrin, showing a flexible rod-like structure. They can bind actin but seem to differ in their calmodulin-binding activity. In nonerythroid tissues, spectrins, in association with some other proteins, may play an important role in membrane organization.
Subunit:		Like erythrocyte spectrin, the spectrin-like proteins are capable of forming dimers which can further associate to tetramers. Interacts with ACP1 (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular location:		Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cytoplasm, cell cortex.
Ptm:		Phosphorylation of Tyr-1176 decreases sensitivity to cleavage by calpain in vitro. {ECO:0000250}.
Similarity:		Belongs to the spectrin family. {ECO:0000305}.
