Abstract: Spectrin is thought be required for the integrity of cell membranes and a variety of other functions, such as cell polarization. But work with fruitflies and nematodes shows that spectrin's more likely role is as a 'protein accumulator', working to trap specific proteins at certain points beneath the plasma membrane.
