Description
Product Characteristics: Avil is a Ca2+-regulated actin-binding protein. It may have a unique function in the morphogenesis of neuronal cells which form ganglia. It is required for SREC1-mediated regulation of neurite-like outgrowth. It plays a role in regenerative sensory axon outgrowth and remodeling processes after peripheral injury in neonates. It is involved in the formation of long fine actin-containing filopodia-like structures in fibroblast and is required for SREC1-mediated regulation of neurite-like outgrowth. Avil plays a role in ciliogenesis. Synonyms: Polyclonal Avil antibody, Anti-Avil antibody, advillin antibody.
Target Information: The protein encoded by this gene is a member of the gelsolin/villin family of actin regulatory proteins. This protein has structural similarity to villin. It binds actin and may play a role in the development of neuronal cells that form ganglia. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
