PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	three actin-binding sites (ABS1-3): one in the N-terminal head, and two in the C-terminal rod domain
	a FERM domain, with 3 subdomains (F1, F2, F3) functioning as a linker between PIPkin or integrins and F-actin at sites of cell-matrix adhesions
	F2 and F3 FERM subdomains contribute to binding, and EGFP-tagged FERM subdomains colocalize with actin stress fibers
	a I/LWEQ domain

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane,junction
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton
text	actin cytoskeleton, synapses
	localizes to costameres and intercalated disks
	observed in both focal and fibrillar adhesions

basic FUNCTION	cytoskeletal protein that plays a significant role in the assembly of actin filaments and in spreading and migration of various cell types, including fibroblasts and osteoclasts
	may be involved in connections of major cytoskeletal structures to the plasma membrane
	link the actin cytoskeleton to the extracellular environment through interactions with beta-integrins and actin
	serves as an essential link between integrins and the actin cytoskeleton in several similar, but functionally distinct, adhesion complexes, including focal adhesions, costameres, and intercalated disks
	may serve as the link between integrins and the sarcomeric cytoskeletonin stable adhesion complexes in mature striated muscle
	TLN1, TLN2 are crucial for skeletal muscle development, where they regulate myoblast fusion, sarcomere assembly and the maintenance of myotendinous junctions (MTJs)
	plays an important role in cell adhesion and recycling of synaptic vesicles
	adaptor proteins that connect the integrin family of cell adhesion receptors to cytoskeletal actin
	TLN1 and TLN2 have distinct functions in the myocardium
