A portion of amino acids2351-2475 was used as the immunogen for the Alpha II Spectrin antibody.
Spectrin, an actin binding protein that is a major component of the cytoskeletal superstructure of the erythrocyte plasma membrane, is essential in determining the properties of the membrane including its shape and deformability. Spectrins function as membrane organizers and stabilizers, composed of nonhomologous II, a neuronal cytoskeleton protein.
