Function

Cytoskeletal linker protein. Acts as an integrator of intermediate filaments, actin and microtubule cytoskeleton networks. Required for anchoring either intermediate filaments to the actin cytoskeleton in neural and muscle cells or keratin- containing intermediate filaments to hemidesmosomes in epithelial cells. The proteins may self-aggregate to form filaments or a two- dimensional mesh.Isoform 3: plays a structural role in the assembly of hemidesmosomes of epithelial cells; anchors keratin-containing intermediate filaments to the inner plaque of hemidesmosomes. Required for the regulation of keratinocyte polarity and motility; mediates integrin ITGB4 regulation of RAC1 activity.Isoform 6: required for bundling actin filaments around the nucleus. {ECO:0000250}.Isoform 7: regulates the organization and stability of the microtubule network of sensory neurons to allow axonal transport.

Subcellular Localization

Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000269PubMed:11751855, ECO:0000269PubMed:19932097}. Note=Associates with intermediate filaments, acin and microtubule cytoskeletons. Localizes to actin stress fibers and to actin-rich ruffling at the cortex of cells (By similarity). Associated at the growing distal tip of microtubules. {ECO:0000250}.Isoform 1: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasm, myofibril, sarcomere, Z line. Cytoplasm, myofibril, sarcomere, H zone {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Neuropathy, hereditary sensory and autonomic, 6 (HSAN6) [MIM:614653]: A form of hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy, a genetically and clinically heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by degeneration of dorsal root and autonomic ganglion cells, and by sensory and/or autonomic abnormalities. HSAN6 is a severe autosomal recessive disorder characterized by neonatal hypotonia, respiratory and feeding difficulties, lack of psychomotor development, and autonomic abnormalities including labile cardiovascular function, lack of corneal reflexes leading to corneal scarring, areflexia, and absent axonal flare response after intradermal histamine injection. {ECO:0000269PubMed:22522446}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.Epidermolysis bullosa simplex, autosomal recessive 2 (EBSB2) [MIM:615425]: A form of epidermolysis bullosa, a dermatologic disorder characterized by localized blistering on the dorsal, lateral and plantar surfaces of the feet. EBSB2 is characterized by trauma-induced blistering mainly occurring on the feet and ankles. Ultrastructural analysis of skin biopsy shows abnormal hemidesmosomes with poorly formed inner plaques. {ECO:0000269PubMed:20164846, ECO:0000269PubMed:22113475}. Note=The disease is caused by mutations affecting the gene represented in this entry.

Tissue Specificity

Isoform 1 is expressed in myoblasts (at protein level). Isoform 3 is expressed in the skin. Isoform 6 is expressed in the brain. Highly expressed in skeletal muscle and cultured keratinocytes. {ECO:0000269PubMed:11751855, ECO:0000269PubMed:19932097, ECO:0000269PubMed:8752219}.
