  • in podocytes, was localized to foot processes
  • basic FUNCTION
  • functions to sequester SRC coactivators in the cytoplasm and buffer the availability of these coactivators, thus providing a mechanism for the regulation of the transcription regulators
  • may contribute to controlling actin dynamics in podocyte foot processes
  • KANK1, KANK2, kANK3, KANK4 were co-opted for vertebrate vascular development

    small molecule
    protein
  • activates talin, reduces force transduction across integrins and induces central adhesion formation
  • a stretch of ~22 amino acids in KIF21A is sufficient for binding to KANK1 and its close homolog KANK2, and solved the complex structure of the KIF21A peptide with either the KANK1 ankyrin domain or the KANK2 ankyrin domain
