Enaptin (C₄₄₁₈₉H₇₁₂₅₂N₁₂₄₂₈O₁₄₀₀₇S₃₂₁; UniProt name: SYNE1_HUMAN; accession number: Q8NF91) is a nuclear envelope protein found in human myocytes and synapses, which is made up of 8,797 amino acids. Post-translational amino acid modifications can be possible. Enaptin is in the fairest sense involved in the maintenance of nuclear organization and structural integrity, tethering the cell nucleus to the cytoskeleton by interacting with the nuclear envelope and with F-actin in the cytoplasm. Enaptin has a remarkable structure with a coiled alpha-helical region and a large beta-sheet region in the upper part and at least 4 alpha-helices spliced into each other indicating the similiarity with collagen. The structural integrity of Enaptin can be shown by determing whether the protein forms a condensed supramolecule.

A chemical name for enaptin begins with "methionylalanylthreonyl...", ends in "...leucine", and is a total of 64,060 letters long. See the full chemical name of enaptin .

The molecular weight of the mature protein is approximately 1,011,041.95 Da, and it has a theoretical pI of 5.38 [1]. The following results do not take into account any annotated post-translational modification. The protein's chemical formula is C₄₄₁₈₉H₇₁₂₅₂N₁₂₄₂₈O₁₄₀₀₇S₃₂₁. It has a theoretical Instability Index (II) of 51.63, indicating that it would be unstable in a test tube. The protein's in vivo half-life, the time it takes for half of the amount of protein in a cell to disappear after its synthesis in the cell, is predicted to be approximately 30 hours (in mammalian reticulocytes). [2]

The protein is made up of three main parts, as can be seen in the diagram: cytoplasmic (1-8746), anchor for type IV membrane protein (8747-8767), and the sequence for perinuclear space (8768-8797).
