Spectrin is the major constituent of the cytoskeletal network underlying the erythrocyte plasma membrane. It associates with band 4.1 and actin to form the cytoskeletal superstructure of the erythrocyte plasma membrane.
Elliptocytosis 3
EL3
A Rhesus-unlinked form of hereditary elliptocytosis, a genetically heterogeneous hematologic disorder characterized by variable hemolytic anemia and elliptical or oval red cell shape. Inheritance can be autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive.
None
The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
Spherocytosis 2
SPH2
An autosomal dominant form of hereditary spherocytosis, a group of hematologic disorders characterized by numerous abnormally shaped erythrocytes which are generally spheroidal. Clinical manifestations include chronic hemolytic anemia, jaundice, and splenomegaly, with variable severity.
None
The disease is caused by variants affecting the gene represented in this entry.
The first phosphorylation event occurs on Ser-2114, followed by Ser-2125, Ser-2123, Ser-2128, Ser-2117, and Thr-2110.
(Microbial infection) Probably cleaved by P.falciparum SERA6; the cleavage results in SPTB solubilization causing the disruption of the actin cytoskeleton and the rupture of the erythrocyte cell membrane releasing the merozoites.
Belongs to the spectrin family.
