Synonyms | AFCP, MCP |
Function | Calcium-sensitive protein which reversibly blocks the barbed ends of actin filaments but does not sever preformed actin filaments. May play an important role in macrophage function. May play a role in regulating cytoplasmic and/or nuclear structures through potential interactions with actin. May bind DNA. |

Background
This gene encodes a member of the gelsolin/villin familyof actin-regulatory proteins. The encoded protein reversibly blocksthe barbed ends of F-actin filaments in a Ca2+ andphosphoinositide-regulated manner, but does not sever preformedactin filaments. By capping the barbed ends of actin filaments, theencoded protein contributes to the control of actin-based motilityin non-muscle cells. Alternatively spliced transcript variants havebeen observed, but have not been fully described. [provided byRefSeq].
