  • localized in the Z-disc due to the unique insertion of 82 amino acid residues in repeat 20 and necessary for normal Z-disc formation that connect sarcomeres.
  • basic FUNCTION
  • dimeric actin cross-linking phosphoprotein
  • may be involved in reorganizing the actin
  • cytoskeleton in response to signaling events, and may be also displaying structural functions at the
    Z-disks in muscle cells
  • is essential for sarcomere attachment to the plasmatic membrane
  • possible role of FLNC as a mechanosensor during muscle contraction

    protein
  • interacting with KY for sarcomere formation and/or stabilization
  • interacting with SORBS1 (Zhang 2007)
  • SYNPO2 is a novel filamin C binding partner, and interacts with filamin C immunoglobulin-like domains 20-21 (Linnemann 2010)
  • FLNC is an interacting partner of HSPB7, and HSPB7 is essential for maintaining muscle integrity, which is achieved through its interaction with FLNC
  • RTN4 interacted with FLNC, suggesting a role for RTN4 in cytoskeletal arrangement during myogenesis
