Interlinks intermediate filaments with microtubules and microfilaments and anchors intermediate filaments to desmosomes or hemidesmosomes. Could also bind muscle proteins such as actin to membrane complexes in muscle. May be involved not only in the filaments network, but also in the regulation of their dynamics. Structural component of muscle. Isoform 9 plays a major role in the maintenance of myofiber integrity

Plektin (engl. Plectin, kurz PCN oder PLTN), auch Plectin-1 oder Hemidesmosomal protein 1 (HD1), ist ein bei Eukaryoten vorkommendes Protein. Es lässt sich im Zytoplasma nahezu aller eukaryotischen Zellen nachweisen, in großen Mengen jedoch vor allem in Muskel- und Herzmuskelzellen, Hautzellen, Nervenzellen sowie in Zellen der Plazenta. Plektin ist ein 500 kDa großes Protein, das zur Proteinfamilie der gehört. Beim Menschen wird es kodiert vom Plectin-Gen (PLEC, PLEC1) und ist auf dem langen Arm von Chromosom 8 (8q24.3) lokalisiert.
