Ankyrin fulfills a number of functions:

protein binding – metal ion binding – zinc ion binding – molecular_function – structural constituent of cytoskeleton – cytoskeletal protein binding

Ankyrin is relevant to the following processes:

signal transduction – intracellular – apoptosis – cardiac muscle contraction – protein localization – protein localization at cell surface – regulation of apoptosis – nervous system development – paranodal junction assembly – response to methylmercury – biological_process – cytoskeletal anchoring at plasma membrane – response to salicylic acid stimulus

Locations for Ankyrin:

M band – apical plasma membrane – basolateral plasma membrane – cytoplasm – cytoskeleton – plasma membrane – intracellular – integral to plasma membrane – membrane – membrane raft – synaptosome – fusome – spectrosome – cellular_component
