UniProt functional annotation for P29966

UniProt code: P29966.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: MARCKS is the most prominent cellular substrate for protein kinase C. This protein binds calmodulin, actin, and synapsin. MARCKS is a filamentous (F) actin cross-linking protein.
 
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000305}. Membrane {ECO:0000305}; Lipid-anchor {ECO:0000305}.
Ptm: Phosphorylation by PKC displaces MARCKS from the membrane. It also inhibits the F-actin cross-linking activity. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8557118}.
Similarity: Belongs to the MARCKS family. {ECO:0000305}.
