Function | Membrane-associated protein that plays a role in the structural modulation of the actin cytoskeleton, chemotaxis, motility, cell adhesion, phagocytosis, and exocytosis through lipid sequestering and/or protein docking to membranes (PubMed:24662485). Thus, exerts an influence on a plethora of physiological processes, such as embryonic development, tissue regeneration, neuronal plasticity, and inflammation. Sequesters phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2) at lipid rafts in the plasma membrane of quiescent cells, an action reversed by protein kinase C, ultimately inhibiting exocytosis. During inflammation, promotes the migration and adhesion of inflammatory cells and the secretion of cytokines such as tumor necrosis factor (TNF), particularly in macrophages. Plays an essential role in bacteria- induced intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) formation in the monocytic cell type. Participates in the regulation of neurite initiation and outgrowth by interacting with components of cellular machinery including CDC42 that regulates cell shape and process extension through modulation of the cytoskeleton (By similarity). Plays also a role in axon development by mediating docking and fusion of RAB10-positive vesicles with the plasma membrane (PubMed:24662485). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P29966}. Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P29966}. Note=PKC-dependent phosphorylation displaces MARCKS from the cell membrane and subsequent dephosphorylation is accompanied by its reassociation with the membrane. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P29966} |
Tissue Location | Highest levels found in spleen and brain. Intermediate levels seen in thymus, ovary, lung and heart. Very low levels seen in kidney, skeletal muscle and liver |

Background
MARCKS (Myristoylated alanine-rich protein kinase C substrate) is a major PKC substrate that is distributed in various cell types. MARCKS has been implicated in cell motility, cell adhesion, phagocytosis, membrane traffic and mitogenesis. PKC phosphorylates Ser152, 156 and 163 of MARCKS, which regulates MARCKS's calcium/calmodulin binding activity and filamentous (F)-actin cross-linking activity. In addition, phosphorylation by PKC results in translocation of MARCKS from membrane to cytoplasm.
