UniProtKB description:  Membrane-cytoskeleton linker. May participate in the maintenance/targeting of ion channels and cell adhesion molecules at the nodes of Ranvier and axonal initial segments (By similarity). In skeletal muscle, required for costamere localization of DMD and betaDAG1 (By similarity). Regulates KCNA1 channel activity in function of dietary Mg(2+) levels, and thereby contributes to the regulation of renal Mg(2+) reabsorption (By similarity). Required for intracellular adhesion and junctional conductance in myocytes, potentially via stabilization of GJA1/CX43 protein abundance and promotion of PKP2, GJA1/CX43, and SCN5A/Nav1.5 localization to cell-cell junctions (PubMed:21617128).
