Function
Interlinks intermediate filaments with microtubules and microfilaments and anchors intermediate filaments to desmosomes or hemidesmosomes. Could also bind muscle proteins such as actin to membrane complexes in muscle. May be involved not only in the filaments network, but also in the regulation of their dynamics. Structural component of muscle. Isoform 9 plays a major role in the maintainance of myofibers integrity.
Homodimer or homotetramer. Interacts (via actin-binding domain) with Nesprin-3. Interacts (via CH 1 domain) with VIM (via rod region) (By similarity). Interacts with COL17A1 (via N-terminus). Interacts (via N-terminus) with DST isoform 1 (via N-terminus).
