DESCRIPTION

Also known as PROF2_BOVIN, PFN2. 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. Occurs in many kinds of cells as a complex with monomeric actin in a 1:1 ratio (By similarity). Interacts with PFN2 (By similarity).
