SPTBN1 (Spectrin beta chain, non-erythrocytic 1) is a gene. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role.
Fodrin, which seems to be involved in secretion, interacts with calmodulin in a calcium-dependent manner and is thus candidate for the calcium-dependent movement of the cytoskeleton at the membrane. Plays a critical role in central nervous system development and function.
Open Targets scores its association with cancer at 0.65 (direct and indirect evidence; datatypes literature 0.94, affected pathway 0.95, animal model 0.51, genetic association 0.28).
In plain words · SPTBN1 (Spectrin beta chain, non-erythrocytic 1) is a gene. In the public catalogues the evidence so far is association rather than a proven role.
