    text
  • associates with mitotic spindles and is crucial for proper spindle assembly and mitotic progression
  • basic FUNCTION
  • regulates tubular absorption of sodium by modulating the expression levels of the sodium-potassium-ATPase in renal tubular cells
  • calmodulin binding protein
  • actin-binding proteins located at the spectrin-actin junctions, also called the junctional complex, in the erythrocyte membrane
  • can have a role in modulating the transcriptional regulating activity of RFX1
  • play an essential role in the maintenance of erythrocyte shape and membrane stability
  • forms a bridge between the erythrocyte membrane and its cytoskeleton and regulates membrane cohesion
  • roles for adducins in stabilization of epithelial junctions and regulation of junctional remodeling
  • role for ADD1 in memory
  • is an actin-binding protein that has been shown to play important roles in the stabilization of the membrane cortical cytoskeleton and cell-cell adhesions
  • protein organizing the cortical actin cytoskeleton and a target of RHOA and PRKC signaling
  • novel function of ADD1 in maintaining spindle pole integrity through its interaction with TPX2

    a component
  • constituent of the erythrocyte membrane skeleton
  • INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • interaction with ACE not only on blood pressure regulation but also on the progression of renal dysfunction in patients with IgA nephropathy
  • interaction with regulatory factor for X box (RFX1), a nuclear protein that down regulates the expression of several proteins in non neuronal cells
  • binds directly to p55 and glycophorin C, a transmembrane protein, and this ternary complex is believed to attach the junctional complex to the plasma membrane
  • binding to SLC2A1 (with dematin form a ternary complex that resists biochemical dissociation upon detergent extraction of the erythrocyte ghosts)
  • novel function for ADD1 in mitotic spindle assembly through its interaction with MYO10
  • regulation of desmosomal adhesion by RHOA- and PRKC-mediated ADD1 phosphorylation in keratinocytes
  • ZNF322 positively regulates transcription of alpha-adducin (ADD1) and cyclin D1 (CCND1) to promote tumorgenicity of lung cancer

    REGULATION
