Also known as EL3, HS2, HSPTB1, SPH2, spectrin beta, erythrocytic
Spectrin beta chain, erythrocyte is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SPTB gene.
This locus encodes a member of the spectrin gene family. Spectrin proteins, along with ankyrin, play a role in cell membrane organization and stability. The protein encoded by this locus functions in stability of erythrocyte membranes, and mutations in this gene have been associated with spherocytosis type 2, hereditary elliptocytosis, and neonatal hemolytic anemia. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009].
