Storage | At -20˚C for one year. After r˚Constitution, at 4˚C for one month. It˚Can also be aliquotted and stored frozen at -20˚C for a longer time.Avoid repeated freezing and thawing. |
Name | PFN1 |
---|---|
Function | Binds to actin and affects the structure of the cytoskeleton. At high concentrations, profilin prevents the polymerization of actin, whereas it enhances it at low concentrations. By binding to PIP2, it inhibits the formation of IP3 and DG. Inhibits androgen receptor (AR) and HTT aggregation and binding of G-actin is essential for its inhibition of AR. |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. |
Tissue Location | Expressed in epididymis (at protein level). |

Background
Profilin-1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the PFN1 gene. The protein encoded by this gene is a ubiquitous actin monomer-binding protein belonging to the profilin family. PFN1 is mapped to 17p13.2. At high concentrations, profilin prevents the polymerization of actin, whereas it enhances it at low concentrations. This gene is a 140-amino acid protein and major growth regulator of filamentous (F)-actin through its binding of monomeric (G)-actin. It is thought to regulate actin polymerization in response to extracellular signals. Deletion of this gene is associated with Miller-Dieker syndrome.
