| 1. | Spectrin helps to create a network by cross-linked actin filaments.
|
| 2. | The spectrin repeat forms a three-helix bundle.
|
| 3. | This gene is one member of a family of beta-spectrin genes.
|
| 4. | SPTBN5 belongs to the spectrin family of cytoskeletal proteins.
|
| 5. | In some animal cells, the protein spectrin may be present in the cortex.
|
| 6. | This takes into account both the glycocalyx and spectrin layers of the erythrocyte membrane.
|
| 7. | Some, such as myelin basic protein, and spectrin have mainly structural roles.
|
| 8. | These include spectrin, alpha-actinin, dystrophin and more recently the plakin family.
|
| 9. | Spectrin repeats give rise to linear proteins.
|
| 10. | There are hints however, that some proteins harbouring spectrin repeats may also be flexible.
