Adducins are a 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. Alternative splicing results in multiple variants encoding distinct isoforms; however, not all variants have been fully described.

Description
Specificity: ADD1 antibody detects endogenous levels of total ADD1 protein. Not tested with other proteinsRelevance: Alpha adducin is a 80-120 kD member of the aldolase class II family and adducin subfamily. This protein has three isoforms that interact as heterodimers alpha/beta, and beta/gamma. The molecular weights for the various isoforms alpha=120 kD, beta=110kD; gamma=80kD. The alpha adducin protein is a ubiquitously expressed cytoskeletal protein that binds with high affinity to Ca2+/calmodulin and acts as a substrate for protein kinases A and C. This protein has been reported to promote the assembly of the spectrinactin network. Polymorphisms in alpha adducin are associated with cardiovascular disease and hypertension. Alpha adducin has been reported to interact with calmodulin. When phosphorylated by Rho-kinase, alpha adducin can regulate membrane ruffling and cell motility
