function:Drebrins might play some role in cell migration, extension of neuronal processes and plasticity of dendrites, respectively.,similarity:Contains 1 ADF-H domain.,subunit:Binds F-actin.,tissue specificity:Brain neurons. Also found in the heart, placenta, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas.,
Cytoplasm . Cell projection, dendrite . Cytoplasm, cell cortex . Cell junction . Cell projection, growth cone . In the absence of antigen, evenly distributed throughout subcortical regions of the T-cell membrane and cytoplasm (PubMed:20215400). In the presence of antigen, distributes to the immunological synapse forming at the T-cell-APC contact area, where it localizes at the peripheral and distal supramolecular activation clusters (SMAC) (PubMed:20215400). Colocalized with RUFY3 and F-actin at the transitional domain of the axonal growth cone (By similarity). .
Expressed in the brain, with expression in the molecular layer of the dentate gyrus, stratum pyramidale, and stratum radiatum of the hippocampus (at protein level) (PubMed:8838578). Also expressed in the terminal varicosities distributed along dendritic trees of pyramidal cells in CA4 and CA3 of the hippocampus (at protein level) (PubMed:8838578). Expressed in pyramidal cells in CA2, CA1 and the subiculum of the hippocampus (at protein level) (PubMed:8838578). Expressed in peripheral blood lymphocytes, including T-cells (at protein level) (PubMed:20215400). Expressed in the brain (PubMed:8216329, Ref.2). Expressed in the heart, placenta, lung, skeletal muscle, kidney, pancreas, skin fibroblasts, gingival fibroblasts and bone-derived cells (Ref.2).
