basic FUNCTION
| regulating actin cytoskeletal organisation, cell spreading and cell contraction by directly binding |
|
stabilizing filamentous (F)-actin |
|
involved in many important fundamental cellular processes, ranging from actin remodeling, directed cell movement, to cell cycle regulation |
|
serving as a linker protein to recruit proteins required for F-actin formation and turnover |
|
may be involved in mitotic regulation through interacting with TRF1 |
|
actin-bundling protein that is critical for rootlet formation (Kitajiri 2010) |
|
implication in the bundling of actin filaments that is essential for the biogenesis of rootlets providing durable flexibility at the taper and mechanical rigidity to the stereocilia bundle (Kitajiri 2010) |
