MARCKS proteins (abbreviation of Myristoylated alanine-rich C-kinase substrate) are proteins? that play an important role in [cell mobility]?, secretion?, [transmembrane transport]?, and the regulation of the cell cycle. They are acidic proteins with a high amount of alanine?, glycine, proline?, and [glutamic acid]?. They are membrane-bound by a [lipid anchor]? at the N-terminus. They are regulated by Ca2+/calmodulin? and protein kinase C. In their unphosphorylated form, they bind to actine? filament?s, causing them to crosslink.
