Other Names | Gelsolin, AGEL, Actin-depolymerizing factor, ADF, Brevin, GSN |
Target/Specificity | The synthetic peptide sequence used to generate the antibody AP7326a was selected from the N-term region of human GSN. A 10 to 100 fold molar excess to antibody is recommended. Precise conditions should be optimized for a particular assay. |
Format | Peptides are lyophilized in a solid powder format. Peptides can be reconstituted in solution using the appropriate buffer as needed. |
Storage | Maintain refrigerated at 2-8°C for up to 6 months. For long term storage store at -20°C. |
Precautions | This product is for research use only. Not for use in diagnostic or therapeutic procedures. |
Name | GSN |
---|---|
Function | Calcium-regulated, actin-modulating protein that binds to the plus (or barbed) ends of actin monomers or filaments, preventing monomer exchange (end-blocking or capping). It can promote the assembly of monomers into filaments (nucleation) as well as sever filaments already formed (PubMed:19666512). Plays a role in ciliogenesis (PubMed:20393563). |
Cellular Location | [Isoform 2]: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. |
Tissue Location | Phagocytic cells, platelets, fibroblasts, nonmuscle cells, smooth and skeletal muscle cells |

Background
GSN binds to the 'plus' ends of actin monomers and filaments to prevent monomer exchange. The calcium-regulated protein functions in both assembly and disassembly of actin filaments. Defects in this protein are a cause of familial amyloidosis Finnish type (FAF).
