Elevated ankyrin G in a plexiform neurofibroma and neuromas associated with pain
Journal of Clinical Neuroscience, 2004Ankyrin G has recently been shown to be responsible for activation of sodium channels in the developing and regenerating axonal membrane. Via this sodium channel mechanism, elevated ankyrin G levels have been linked with spontaneous ectopic hyperexcitability and thus with pain phenomena in nervous tissue.

Biochemical and functional characterization of giant ankyrin-G
2021Ankyrins link diverse ion channels and cell adhesion molecules to the spectrin-based cytoskeleton which stabilizes membranes and regulates physiological processes in various excitable and mechano-resistant tissues and cells. They are regarded as key scaffold proteins at these domains. Three members can be found in vertebrate ankyrin family: ankyrin-R/B/

Ankyrin-G Regulates Inactivation Gating of the Neuronal Sodium Channel, Nav1.6
Journal of Neurophysiology, 2006Ankyrin-G, a modular protein, plays a critical role in clustering voltage-gated sodium channels (Nav channels) in nodes of Ranvier and initial segments of mammalian neurons. However, direct effects of ankyrin-G on electrophysiological properties of Nav channels remain elusive.

Painful human neuromas: a potential role for a structural transmembrane protein, ankyrin G
Journal of Neurosurgery, 2002Object. Severe nerve injury induces the formation of a neuroma. Some neuromas cause excruciating pain. Overexpression of Na+ channels leads to hyperexcitability and painful phenomena. Ankyrin G, a multifunctional transmembrane protein of the axolemma, might be a key protein in neuroma formation because it binds Na+ channels in the initial segments of a

AbstractSignificant association between polymorphisms at the ANK3 gene with bipolar disorder has previously been reported and confirmed in several samples. Here we report on association between ANK3 and bipolar disorder in a new sample of 593 patients and 642 controls (UCL2) as well as the results of sequencing of the exons and flanking regions of ANK3

Mechanistic studies of ankyrin-B/ankyrin-G autoinhibition and regulation
2015Ankyrins are a family of scaffold proteins, which serves to link great varieties of functional related but structurally diverse integral membrane proteins to the spectrin-based cytoskeletons. In vertebrates, the Ankyrin family consists of three members: ankyrin-R (AnkR), ankyrin-B (AnkB) and ankyrin-G (AnkG), encoded by ANK1, ANK2 and ANK3 ...
