Spectrin isoforms in mammalian brain

Brain Res Bull. 1987 Jun;18(6):787-92. doi: 10.1016/0361-9230(87)90217-6.

Abstract

In this brief review we discuss the structure, location, developmental expression and potential functions of the spectrin isoforms [spectrin(240/235) and spectrin (240/235E)] within mammalian brain. We also contrast the structure and location of mammalian and avian brain spectrin isoforms.
