What is the function of this protein?
Spectrin is the major constituent of the cytoskeletal network underlying the erythrocyte plasma membrane.  It associates with band 4. 1 and actin to form the cytoskeletal superstructure of the erythrocyte plasma membrane.  Essential for larval survival and development.  Stabilizes cell to cell interactions that are critical for the maintenance of cell shape and subcellular organization within embryonic tissues.  Lva and spectrin may form a Golgi-based scaffold that mediates interaction of Golgi bodies with microtubules and facilitates Golgi-derived membrane secretion required for the formation of furrows during cellularization.
What are the official names of this protein?
Spectrin alpha chain.
What is the protein family that this protein belongs to?
Belongs to the spectrin family.
What are the subcellular locations of this protein?
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Golgi apparatus. Note=Near the inner surface of the plasma membrane of nearly all cells. Lva-alpha-spectrin complexes are found at the Golgi.
