Name Gelsolin
Synonyms
  1. ADF
  2. AGEL
  3. Actin-depolymerizing factor
  4. Brevin
Gene Name GSN
Protein Type Unknown
Biological Properties
General Function Involved in actin binding
Specific 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
