With a mass of approximately 100 kDa it is an important component of cell structures such as Z-discs in skeletal muscle. Alpha Actinin is expressed in a range of tissues including skeletal cardiac and smooth muscle as well as in various non-muscle cells. Its main role is to organize the actin cytoskeleton providing structural support and enabling cell motility.\u003cbr\u003e\nBiological function summary\u003cbr\u003e\nAlpha Actinin-1 helps maintain the structural integrity of cells by anchoring actin filaments and connecting them to integrins or membrane proteins. It often functions as part of a protein complex interacting with other cytoskeletal components and signaling molecules to stabilize cellular structures. In muscle cells it blends with titin and other sarcomeric proteins to assist muscle contraction. Beyond structural roles it partakes in cellular signaling pathways by interacting with signaling proteins and influencing cellular responses to external stimuli.\u003cbr\u003e\nPathways\u003cbr\u003e\nAlpha Actinin-1 is involved in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton pathway as well as the integrin signaling pathway. In these pathways it collaborates with proteins such as vinculin and paxillin modulating cell adhesion and movement. Its ability to interact with integrin-linked kinases suggests a role in transducing mechanical signals from the extracellular matrix to downstream signaling cascades.\u003cbr\u003e\nAlpha Actinin-1 has been linked to a spectrum of muscular diseases and certain cancers. Mutations in Alpha Actinin-1 can contribute to hereditary diseases like congenital kidney disorders which affect actin filament organization in podocytes. In oncology altered expression levels of Alpha Actinin-1 can affect cell proliferation impacting tumor growth and metastasis. Its interaction with other proteins like focal adhesion kinase (FAK) underlines its involvement in these pathological conditions influencing cellular adhesion and signal transduction.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Abcam","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46845107699881,"sku":"ab265610","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/iright.com\/ar\/products\/abcam-ab265610","provider":"Iright","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
