MARCKS, MACS, PRKCSL, Myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate, MARCKS, Protein kinase C substrate, 80 kDa protein, light chain, 80K-L protein, PKCSL
The protein encoded by this gene is a substrate for protein kinase C. It is localized to the plasma membrane and is an actin filament crosslinking protein. Phosphorylation by protein kinase C or binding to calcium-calmodulin inhibits its association with actin and with the plasma membrane, leading to its presence in the cytoplasm. The protein is thought to be involved in cell motility, phagocytosis, membrane trafficking and mitogenesis. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],function:MARCKS is the most prominent cellular substrate for protein kinase C. This protein binds calmodulin, actin, and synapsin. MARCKS is a filamentous (F) actin cross-linking protein.,PTM:Phosphorylation by PKC displaces MARCKS from the membrane. It also inhibits the F-actin cross-linking activity.,similarity:Belongs to the MARCKS family.,
