Rat liver plectin was found to be mainly associated with plasma membrane fractions enriched in junctional complexes. The membrane-associated plectin has been partially isolated. Plectin co-purifies with a 200 kDa polypeptide which, on the basis of sequence homology, has been identified as a myosin like-protein. The interaction of mu-calpain with liver plectin has been investigated. Plectin is very sensitive to mu-calpain and is digested to give a fragment of 240 kDa.
