Background Information
Plectin is a large (≥500-kDa) protein that is normally expressed in various tissues including skin, muscle, and brain. It binds to a number of cytoskeletal proteins including microtubules and intermediate filaments and is involved in establishment and dynamic modulation of the cytoskeletal network. In normal cells, it plays a crucial role in cytoskeleton network organization. In keratinocytes, plectin is concentrated at the basal surface, where it links intermediate filaments to the cytoplasmic domain of transmembrane glycoproteins such as integrin beta-4.
