The protein encoded by the ANK2 gene is a member of the
ankyrin family of proteins that link the integral membrane proteins to the underlyingspectrin -actin cytoskeleton . Ankyrins play key roles in activities such as cell motility, activation, proliferation, contact and the maintenance of specialized membrane domains. Most ankyrins are typically composed of three structural domains: an amino-terminal domain containing multiple ankyrin repeats; a central region with a highly conserved spectrin binding domain; and a carboxy-terminal regulatory domain which is the least conserved and subject to variation.References
