Actinin attaches the protein actin to the Z-lines in skeletal muscle cells and to dense bodies in smooth muscle cells. Both ends of actinin contain an actin-binding domain (ABD). Actinin is encoded by different genes. ACTN1 encodes α-actinin-1 (aA1) which is a cytoskeletal isoform. ACTN2 encodes an isoform aA2 found in cardiac and skeletal muscles. ACTN3 encodes aA3 which anchors actin at the muscle Z-disk. ACTN4 encodes aA4 which is found in the cytoplasm and is thought to be involved in metastasis. Actinins contain a 3-helix bundle which is called spectrin repeat (SR). The images at the left and at the right correspond to one representative Actinin, i.e. the crystal structure of human Alpha-actinin-1 (2eyi).
