Also known as Pleckstrin, pleckstrin, P47
Pleckstrins are a family of proteins found in platelets and other cells. The name derives from platelet and leukocyte C kinase substrate and the KSTR string of amino acids. The prototype protein, now called pleckstrin-1, was first identified in 1979 as the major substrate of protein kinase C in platelets. The homolog pleckstrin-2 is more widely expressed in tissues.
Enables phosphatidylinositol-3,4-bisphosphate binding activity; protein homodimerization activity; and protein kinase C binding activity. Involved in several processes, including G protein-coupled receptor signaling pathway; actin cytoskeleton organization; and positive regulation of supramolecular fiber organization. Located in cytoplasm and ruffle membrane. [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

The pleckstrin homology domain (PH domain) was named after pleckstrin-1.
