Alpha-Adducin Antibody

Alpha-adducin is a member of the adducin family of cytoskeleton proteins encoded by three genes (alpha, beta, gamma). Adducin is a heterodimeric protein that consists of related subunits, which are produced from distinct genes but share a similar structure. Alpha- and beta-adducin include a protease-resistant N-terminal region and a protease-sensitive, hydrophilic C-terminal region. Alpha- and gamma-adducins are ubiquitously expressed. In contrast, beta-adducin is expressed at high levels in brain and hematopoietic tissues. Adducin binds with high affinity to Ca(2+)/calmodulin and is a substrate for protein kinases A and C [taken from NCBI Entrez Gene (Gene ID: 118)].

Alternative names for Alpha-Adducin Antibody include adducing 1 (alpha) antibody, ADD1 antibody, ADDA antibody, erythrocyte adducing subunit alpha antibody.
