Thought to regulate cation conductance. May regulate ACCN1 and ACCN3 gating.
Specificity
Natural and recombinant Mouse Erythrocyte band 7 integral membrane protein
Subcellular Location
Cell membrane Peripheral membrane protein Cytoplasmic side Cell membrane Lipid-anchor Cytoplasmic side Melanosome Exposed on the cytoplasmic surface of the membrane. Associated with lipid rafts. Concentrates preferentially in plasma membrane protrusions and in a juxta-nuclear region which may represent Golgi-derived vesicles. Colocalizes with actin.
