Neuroblast differentiation-associated protein AHNAK, also known as desmoyokin, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AHNAK gene.[1][2][3] AHNAK was originally identified in 1989 (in bovine muzzle epidermal cells) and named desmoyokin due to its localization pattern (that resembled a yoke) in the desmosomal plaque.[4] AHNAK has been shown to be essential for pseudopod protrusion and cell migration. [5]


Interactions

AHNAK has been shown to interact with S100B.[6]
