Plectin can be divided in three main sections; a central coiled-coil rod domain, N and C-terminal globular region and exhibits a dumbbell like structure. C-terminal region is composed of 6 homologous repeating domains, and this region has a role in binding to intermediate filaments such as vimentin and cytokeratin <ref>PMID:3430617</ref>. N-terminal globular region contains actin binding domain (ABD) comprising two calponin homology.
