Adducins are heteromeric proteins composed of different subunits referred to as adducin alpha, beta and gamma. The three subunits are encoded by distinct genes and belong to a family of membrane skeletal proteins involved in the assembly of spectrin-actin network in erythrocytes and at sites of cell-cell contact in epithelial tissues. While adducins alpha and gamma are ubiquitously expressed, the expression of adducin beta is restricted to brain and hematopoietic tissues. Adducin, originally purified from human erythrocytes, was found to be a heterodimer of adducins alpha and beta. Polymorphisms resulting in amino acid substitutions in these two subunits have been associated with the regulation of blood pressure in an animal model of hypertension. Heterodimers consisting of alpha and gamma subunits have also been described. Structurally, each subunit is comprised of two distinct domains. The amino-terminal region is protease resistant and globular in shape, while the carboxy-terminal region is protease sensitive. The latter contains multiple phosphorylation sites for protein kinase C, the for calmodulin, and is required for association with spectrin and actin. Various adducin beta mRNAs, alternatively spliced at 3 end and
or internally spliced and encoding different isoforms, have been described. The functions of all the different isoforms are not known.

Beta-adducin

This gene encodes the beta subunit of the adducin family. Adducins, encoded by alpha, beta and gamma genes, are heteromeric proteins that crosslink actin filaments with spectrin at the cytoskeletal membrane. This protein, primarily found in the brain and hematopoietic cells, is regulated by phosphorylation and calmodulin interactions as it promotes spectrin assembly onto actin filaments, bundles actin and caps barbed ends of actin filaments. In mouse, deficiency of this gene can lead to mild hemolytic anemia and impaired synaptic plasticity. Mutations of this gene in mouse serve as a pathophysiological model for hereditary spherocytosis and hereditary elliptocytosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants that encode different protein isoforms. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2012]

Membrane-cytoskeleton-associated protein that promotes the assembly of the spectrin-actin network. Binds to the erythrocyte membrane receptor SLC2A1/GLUT1 and may therefore provide a link between the spectrin cytoskeleton to the plasma membrane. Binds to calmodulin. Calmodulin binds preferentially to the beta subunit ().
