Activity summary

The AHNAK protein also known as "giant ankyrin repeat-containing protein" or "desmoyokin" has a large molecular mass of approximately 700 kDa. It is expressed in various tissues including heart skeletal muscle and brain. The protein is characterized by its repeated ankyrin-like motifs which are essential for protein-protein interactions. AHNAK is localized to the plasma membrane cytoplasm and sometimes the nucleus indicating its versatile roles within cells.

Biological function summary

AHNAK has key functions in cell structure and signaling. It can form a complex with other proteins such as S100 family proteins influencing calcium binding and signal transduction. This complex plays a role in the regulation of the cytoskeleton and membrane repair processes. Additionally AHNAK participates in cellular stress responses and impacts cell adhesion by interacting with membrane-associated proteins.

Pathways

AHNAK interacts with pathways involving calcium signaling and cytoskeletal organization. It links to the calcium-binding protein S100B facilitating downstream signaling that impacts cellular responses to external stimuli. Another pathway involves plasma membrane repair where AHNAK partners with annexin proteins to reseal damaged membranes and maintain cellular integrity.

Associated diseases and disorders

AHNAK associates with cardiomyopathies and certain types of cancer. In cardiac conditions its interaction with proteins like dystrophin is important for maintaining muscle cell integrity during contraction. The dysregulation of AHNAK in cancer can influence cell motility and invasiveness highlighting its potential as a biomarker for tumor progression.

    Overlay histogram showing HeLa cells stained with ab68556 (red line). The cells were fixed with 80% methanol (5 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab68556, 1µg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22ºC. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (DyLight® 488) preadsorbed ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22ºC. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG1 [ICIGG1] (Mouse IgG1, Kappa Monoclonal [B11/6] - Isotype Control ab91353, 2µg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed. This antibody gave a positive signal in Hela cells fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min used under the same conditions.
