AHNAK

Neuroblast differentiation-associated protein AHNAK, also known as desmoyokin, is a is_associated_with::protein that in humans is encoded by the AHNAK is_associated_with::gene. AHNAK was originally identified in 1989 (in bovine muzzle epidermal cells) and named desmoyokin due to its localization pattern (that resembled a is_associated_with::yoke) in the desmosomal plaque. AHNAK has been shown to be essential for pseudopod protrusion and cell migration.

Interactions
AHNAK has been shown to interact with is_associated_with::S100B.
