Function:
Component of SUN-protein-containing multivariate complexes also called LINC complexes which link the nucleoskeleton and cytoskeleton by providing versatile outer nuclear membrane attachment sites for cytoskeletal filaments. Involved in the maintenance of nuclear organization and structural integrity. Probable anchoring protein which tethers the nucleus to the cytoskeleton by binding PLEC which can associate with the intermediate filament system.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus outer membrane. Located at the rough reticulum endoplasmic (RER) in some cells.
Similarity:
Belongs to the nesprin family.
Contains 1 KASH domain.
Contains 2 spectrin repeats.
