Actin filament-associated protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the AFAP1 gene. [5] [6] [7] [8]
The protein encoded by this gene is a Src binding partner. It may represent a potential modulator of actin filament integrity in response to cellular signals, and may function as an adaptor protein by linking Src family members and/or other signaling proteins to actin filaments. Two alternative transcripts encoding the same protein have been identified. [8]
Gelsolin is an actin-binding protein that is a key regulator of actin filament assembly and disassembly. Gelsolin is one of the most potent members of the actin-severing gelsolin/villin superfamily, as it severs with nearly 100% efficiency.
Dystroglycan is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DAG1 gene.
Actin-related protein 2 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ACTR2 gene.
Abl interactor 1 also known as Abelson interactor 1 (Abi-1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ABI1 gene.
Alpha-actinin-4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ACTN4 gene.
Alpha-centractin (yeast) or ARP1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ACTR1A gene.
Large tumor suppressor kinase 1 (LATS1) is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the LATS1 gene.
LIM domain and actin-binding protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the LIMA1 gene.
Tropomodulin-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the TMOD1 gene.
Actin-related protein 2/3 complex subunit 3 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ARPC3 gene.
Signal transduction protein CBL-C is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CBLC gene.
Myosin-14 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYH14 gene.
Scinderin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SCIN gene. Scinderin is an actin severing protein belonging to the gelsolin superfamily. It was discovered in Dr. Trifaro's laboratory at the University of Ottawa, Canada. Secretory tissues are rich in scinderin. In these tissues scinderin, a calcium dependent protein, regulates cortical actin networks. Normally secretory vesicles are excluded from release sites on the plasma membrane by the presence of a cortical actin filament network. During cell stimulation, calcium channels open allowing calcium ions to enter the secretory cell. Increase in intracellular calcium activates scinderin with the consequent actin filament severing and local dissociation of actin filament networks. This allows the movement of secretory vesicles to release sites on the plasma membrane.
HCLS1-associated protein X-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the HAX1 gene.
FYVE, RhoGEF and PH domain-containing protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the FGD4 gene.
Phostensin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the KIAA1949 gene.
Tropomodulin 2 (neuronal) also known as TMOD2 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the TMOD2 gene.
Cofilin 2 (muscle) also known as CFL2 is a protein which in humans is encoded by the CFL2 gene.
Espin, also known as autosomal recessive deafness type 36 protein or ectoplasmic specialization protein, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ESPN gene. Espin is a microfilament binding protein.
XB130 is a cytosolic adaptor protein and signal transduction mediator. XB130 regulates cell proliferation, cell survival, cell motility and gene expression. XB130 is highly similar to AFAP and is thus known as actin filament associated protein 1-like 2 (AFAP1L2). XB130 is a substrate and regulator of multiple tyrosine kinase-mediated signaling. XB130 is highly expressed in the thyroid and spleen.
