    basic FUNCTION
  • actinin, alpha 1, actin filament cross-linking, calcium sensitive, cytoskeletal type
  • with ACTN4 are differentially regulated during the development and progression of astrocytomas because each of these isoforms uniquely contributes to distinct malignant properties of astrocytoma cells (Quick 2010)
  • with ACTN4 make critical and distinct contributions to cytoskeletal organization, rigidity-sensing, and motility of glioma cells (Sen 2009)
  • may play a role in human glomerular disease (Yang 2008)
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component FHL1 exists as part of a complex that binds with PDLIM1, GSN and ACTN1
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interacting with ADORA2A (Zezula 2008)
  • interaction of DAPK2 with ACTN1 was localized at the plasma membrane, resulting in massive membrane blebbing and reduced cellular motility, whereas the interaction of DAPK2 with YWHAB was localized to the cytoplasm, with no impact on blebbing, motility, or viability
