PHYSICAL PROPERTIES

STRUCTURE

motifs/domains	N-terminal actin-binding domain followed by
	24 immunoglobulin-like repeats with two intervening calpain-sensitive hinges separating R15 and R16 (hinge 1) and R23 and R24 (hinge-2)
	a C-terminal self-association domain, part of the dimerization region

CATEGORY

structural protein

SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION	plasma membrane
	intracellular
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytosolic
	intracellular,cytoplasm,cytoskeleton
text	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

INTERACTION

DNA

RNA

small molecule

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
