Abstract
It is concluded from structure predictions of the primary amino acid sequence by computer analyses that two segments of non-muscle filamin could facilitate lipid membrane attachment or anchoring. Residues 49-71 of the amino-terminal may attach to phospholipid membranes, and residues 131-155 may anchor in the hydrophobic region of lipid membranes.Keywords
