== Function ==
[[Spectrin]] forms scaffolding in plasma membranes and cytoskeletal structure.  It interacts with actin at either end of its tetramer<ref>PMID:17060500</ref>.  The SPT dimer is formed by association of α1 and β1 monomers.  In invertebrates there are SPT α, β and βH.  In vertebrates there are SPT α1 (SPTA1), α2 (SPTA2) and β1 (SPTB1) to β5.  SPT contains an SRC Homology 3 domain (SH3), a Pleckstrin Homology (PH) domain and a Calponin Homology (CH) domain.
*'''Spectrin α2''' is expressed highly in heart muscle cells<ref>PMID:15360127</ref>.
*'''Spectrin β2''' is associated with GABA receptor at dendritic synapses<ref>PMID:36604600</ref>.
*'''Spectrin β4''' is associated with GABA receptor at axon initial segment synapses.
*'''Spectrin R16''' is spectrin α first repeat domain<ref>PMID:10481916</ref>.
 
== Disease ==
Mutations in SPT α are found in patients with hereditary elliptocytosis<ref>PMID:2346784</ref>. SPT β deficiency is found in hereditary spherocytosis<ref>PMID:9714702</ref>.
