eksonin
Eksonin is a proposed family of cytoskeletal adaptor proteins in eukaryotic cells. In contemporary models, eksonin is thought to coordinate interactions between actin filaments and microtubules to facilitate vesicle trafficking and organelle positioning. The term appears in discussions of cross‑linking mechanisms and in reports describing candidate eksonin‑like proteins discovered across several species. No single canonical eksonin sequence defines the family, but members are predicted to contain coiled‑coil regions and modular domains that may bind actin, tubulin, or motor proteins.
Localization and function are described as the primary roles of eksonin. Experimental observations place eksonin near
Regulation and evolution are areas of active inquiry. Phosphorylation and other post‑translational modifications are proposed to
Research status remains open and evolving. As of now, eksonin is treated as a putative adaptor that
