| Tissue Specificity | Ubiquitous. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylation at Ser-39 inhibits actin-binding. Phosphorylation is required for the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton in response to NGF. |
| Function | Actin-binding protein that contains 2 major actin binding sites. Organizes filamentous actin into parallel bundles. Plays a role in the organization of actin filament bundles and the formation of microspikes, membrane ruffles, and stress fibers. Important for the formation of a diverse set of cell protrusions, such as filopodia, and for cell motility and migration. Mediates reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton and axon growth cone collapse in response to NGF. |
