Gamma-adducin, Adducin-like protein 70, ADD3, ADDL
Product description
Adducins are heteromeric proteins composed of different
subunits referred to as adducin alpha, beta and gamma. The three
subunits are encoded by distinct genes and belong to a family of
membrane skeletal proteins involved in the assembly of
spectrin-actin network in erythrocytes and at sites of cell-cell
contact in epithelial tissues. While adducins alpha and gamma are
ubiquitously expressed, the expression of adducin beta is
restricted to brain and hematopoietic tissues. Adducin, originally
purified from human erythrocytes, was found to be a heterodimer of
adducins alpha and beta. Polymorphisms resulting in amino acid
substitutions in these two subunits have been associated with the
regulation of blood pressure in an animal model of hypertension.
Heterodimers consisting of alpha and gamma subunits have also been
described. Structurally, each subunit is comprised of two distinct
domains. The amino-terminal region is protease resistant and
globular in shape, while the carboxy-terminal region is protease
sensitive. The latter contains multiple phosphorylation sites for
protein kinase C, the binding site for calmodulin, and is required
for association with spectrin and actin. Alternatively spliced
adducin gamma transcripts encoding different isoforms have been
described. The functions of the different isoforms are not known.1) Bailey, S.D., et al. Diabetes Care 33(10):2250-2253(2010)
