Description
Enables actin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including actin filament depolymerization; oligodendrocyte development; and positive regulation of p38MAPK cascade. Located in several cellular components, including apical ectoplasmic specialization; basal ectoplasmic specialization; and cytoskeleton. Part of protein-containing complex. Biomarker of hypothyroidism; lung disease; and myocardial infarction. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Finnish type amyloidosis. Orthologous to human GSN (gelsolin).

3 Proteins

3.1 Protein 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 (By similarity). Plays a role in ciliogenesis (By similarity).
