plecb - plectin b

Predicted to enable ankyrin binding activity and structural molecule activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton and structural constituent of muscle. Acts upstream of or within locomotory behavior; myofibril assembly; and skeletal muscle tissue development. Predicted to be located in cytoskeleton. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including focal adhesion; hemidesmosome; and sarcolemma. Predicted to colocalize with intermediate filament. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2Q; epidermolysis bullosa simplex; epidermolysis bullosa simplex Ogna type; and epidermolysis bullosa simplex with muscular dystrophy. Orthologous to human PLEC (plectin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
