Gene: MACF1
Alternate names for this Gene: ABP620|ACF7|LIS9|MACF|OFC4
Gene Summary: This gene encodes a large protein containing numerous spectrin and leucine-rich repeat (LRR) domains. The encoded protein is a member of a family of proteins that form bridges between different cytoskeletal elements. This protein facilitates actin-microtubule interactions at the cell periphery and couples the microtubule network to cellular junctions. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined.
Gene is located in Chromosome: 1
Location in Chromosome : 1p34.3
Description of this Gene: microtubule actin crosslinking factor 1
Type of Gene: protein-coding
