* Information From OMIM
Text: The spectrins are a family of widely-distributed filamentous cytoskeletal proteins which have a highly conserved 106-amino acid repeat structure. Spectrins are heterodimers of a constant alpha-chain and variable, tissue-specific beta-chains. Functions of these proteins include regulation of receptor binding and actin crosslinking. Barton et al. (1987) and Leto et al. (1988) used a probe for nonerythroid alpha-spectrin derived from a rat brain cDNA library to map the corresponding gene in man. The findings of somatic cell hybrid studies and in situ hybridization indicated localization in the region 9q33-q34. The cDNA that they used encodes a protein also known as alpha-fodrin. McMahon et al. (1987) cloned the alpha-fodrin gene from a human lung fibroblast cDNA library. From this, they compared the structure of alpha-spectrin and alpha-fodrin with deductions as to their evolution. Birkenmeier et al. (1988) showed that the brain alpha-spectrin gene is located on the centromeric end of mouse chromosome 2 and is not closely linked to any known erythroid or neurologic mutation. They symbolized this gene in the mouse as Spna-2. Leto et al. (1988) found close similarities of sequence in diverse species.
