MARCKSL1

Protein-coding gene in humans

Image credit is listed at the end of this article.

MARCKS-related protein is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MARCKSL1 gene.

01Function

This gene encodes a member of the myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate (MARCKS) family. MARCKS plays a role in cytoskeletal regulation, protein kinase C signaling and calmodulin signaling. The encoded protein affects the formation of adherens junctions. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

02Interactions

MARCKSL1 has been shown to interact with DCTN2 and JNK.
