Vectors for Human ACTN4

Gene Information

  • Offical Gene Symbol ACTN4
  • Species Human (Homo sapiens)
  • Offical Full Name actinin alpha 4
  • Other Aliases ACTININ-4; FSGS; FSGS1
  • Other Desigations alpha-actinin-4; focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 1; non-muscle alpha-actinin 4
  • Gene Type protein-coding
  • Summary
    Alpha actinins belong to the spectrin gene superfamily which represents a diverse group of cytoskeletal proteins, including the alpha and beta spectrins and dystrophins. Alpha actinin is an actin-binding protein with multiple roles in different cell types. In nonmuscle cells, the cytoskeletal isoform is found along microfilament bundles and adherens-type junctions, where it is involved in binding actin to the membrane. In contrast, skeletal, cardiac, and smooth muscle isoforms are localized to the Z-disc and analogous dense bodies, where they help anchor the myofibrillar actin filaments. This gene encodes a nonmuscle, alpha actinin isoform which is concentrated in the cytoplasm, and thought to be involved in metastatic processes. Mutations in this gene have been associated with focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
