Protein existenceEvidence at transcript level

General annotation (Comments)

Function

F-actin cross-linking protein which is thought to anchor actin to a variety of intracellular structures. This is a bundling protein.

Subunit structure

Homodimer; antiparallel.

Tissue specificity

Larval muscle isoform is expressed in the larval body wall, adult muscles of the head and abdomen and supercontractile muscles of the larva and adult. Adult muscle isoform accumulates within adult fibrillar and tubular muscles.

Developmental stage

Larval muscle isoform is found in the larvae and adults, the adult muscle isoform in adults only.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the alpha-actinin family.

Contains 1 actin-binding domain.

Contains 2 CH (calponin-homology) domains.

Contains 2 EF-hand domains.

Contains 4 spectrin repeats.

Alternative products

This entry describes 5 isoforms produced by alternative splicing. [Align] [Select]

Note: Experimental confirmation may be lacking for some isoforms.
Isoform Long (identifier: P18091-1)

This isoform has been chosen as the 'canonical' sequence. All positional information in this entry refers to it. This is also the sequence that appears in the downloadable versions of the entry.
Isoform Non-muscle (identifier: P18091-2)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     229-260: Missing.
     261-261: N → Q
Isoform Larval muscle (identifier: P18091-3)

Also known as: C;

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     261-286: NTALPDERAVMTYVSSYYHCFSGAQK → VTHVPEPTRQYTYVPNNYN
Isoform Adult muscle (identifier: P18091-4)

Also known as: B;

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     258-286: Missing.
Isoform A (identifier: P18091-5)

The sequence of this isoform differs from the canonical sequence as follows:
     231-260: INTPKPDERAIMTYVSCYYHAFQGAQQVGN → Q
