Bioinformation

Database Links	GeneID: 2035 Human EPB41 Swiss-port # P11171 Human Protein 4.1
Gene Symbol	EPB41
Gene Full Name	erythrocyte membrane protein band 4.1
Background	The protein encoded by this gene, together with spectrin and actin, constitute the red cell membrane cytoskeletal network. This complex plays a critical role in erythrocyte shape and deformability. Mutations in this gene are associated with type 1 elliptocytosis (EL1). Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
Function	Protein 4.1 is a major structural element of the erythrocyte membrane skeleton. It plays a key role in regulating membrane physical properties of mechanical stability and deformability by stabilizing spectrin-actin interaction. Recruits DLG1 to membranes. [UniProt]
Calculated MW	97 kDa
PTM	Phosphorylated at multiple sites by different protein kinases and each phosphorylation event selectively modulates the protein's functions. Phosphorylation on Tyr-660 reduces the ability of 4.1 to promote the assembly of the spectrin/actin/4.1 ternary complex. O-glycosylated; contains N-acetylglucosamine side chains in the C-terminal domain.
