== Function ==
[https://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/SPTN1_CHICK SPTN1_CHICK] Morphologically, spectrin-like proteins appear to be related to spectrin, showing a flexible rod-like structure. They can bind actin but seem to differ in their calmodulin-binding activity. In nonerythroid tissues, spectrins, in association with some other proteins, may play an important role in membrane organization.
