The rod domain is not essential for the function of plectin in maintaining tissue integrity
Plectin is a cytoskeletal linker protein that consists of a central rod domain connecting two globular domains. Rodless plectin is able to functionally compensate for the loss of full-length plectin in mice and, like full-length plectin, is able to form dimers.
