Talin isolated from smooth muscle has a molecular mass of ~270kD. Talin consists of a 220kD rod containing actin, vinculin and integrin binding sites and an N-terminal 47kD head region with a FERM domain.
The actin-binding multiligand protein Talin interacts e.g. with phospholipids, signaling molecules, and cytoskeletal components and is regarded as one of the key components of intracelular focal adhesion assembly.
Actin interaction
