GENE AND PROTEIN SUMMARY

? »

Gene name

AFAP1

Description

actin filament associated protein 1

Protein class

Mapped to UniProt SWISS-PROT

Protein evidence

High

Entrez gene summary

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. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Aug 2008]
