Ankyrins are a family of proteins that are believed to link the integral membrane proteins to the underlying spectrin-actin cytoskeleton and play key roles in activities such as cell motility, activation, proliferation, contact, and the maintenance of specialized membrane domains. Multiple isoforms of ankyrin with different affinities for various target proteins are expressed in a tissue-specific, developmentally regulated manner. Most ankyrins are typically composed of three structural domains: an amino-terminal domain containing multiple ankyrin repeats; a central region with a highly conserved spectrin binding domain; and a carboxy-terminal regulatory domain which is the least conserved and subject to variation. Ankyrin 3 is an immunologically distinct gene product from ankyrins 1 and 2, and was originally found at the axonal initial segment and nodes of Ranvier of neurons in the central and peripheral nervous systems. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene.

This gene encodes a protein with multiple ankyrin repeat domains and a single KH-domain. The protein is thought to function as a scaffolding protein, and it may be involved in the regulation of caspases and thereby play an antiapoptotic role in cell survival. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, one of which generates a fusion transcript (MASK-BP3) with the downstream eIF4E-binding protein 3 (EIF4EBP3) gene, resulting in a protein comprised of the ANKHD1 sequence for the majority of the protein and a different C-terminus due to an alternate reading frame for the EIF4EBP3 segments.

ANKMY2 (ankyrin repeat and MYND domain containing 2) is a 441 amino acid protein that contains three ANK repeats and one MYND-type zinc finger. Encoded by a gene that maps to human chromosome 7p21.1, ANKMY2 is conserved in chimpanzee, dog, cow, mouse, chicken, zebrafish, fruit fly, mosquito and Caenorhabditis elegans. Downregulation of ANKMY2, associated with frequent deletions of human chromosome 7p22.1, indicate that ANKMY2 may role a role in the pathogenesis of natural killer (NK)-cell malignancies. ANKMY2 is also upregulated by enforced expression of Hox11, which functions broadly to hinder hemopoiesis, diverts differentiation to an alternative fate and promotes pre-leukaemic states.
