function:Controls reversibly actin polymerization and depolymerization in a pH-sensitive manner. It has the ability to bind G- and F-actin in a 1:1 ratio of cofilin to actin. It is the major component of intranuclear and cytoplasmic actin rods.,online information:Cofilin entry,PTM:Phosphorylated on Ser-3 in resting cells.,similarity:Belongs to the actin-binding proteins ADF family.,similarity:Contains 1 ADF-H domain.,subcellular location:Almost completely in nucleus in cells exposed to heat shock or 10% dimethyl sulfoxide.,tissue specificity:Widely distributed in various tissues.,
Nucleus matrix . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton . Cell projection, ruffle membrane ; Peripheral membrane protein ; Cytoplasmic side . Cell projection, lamellipodium membrane ; Peripheral membrane protein ; Cytoplasmic side . Cell projection, lamellipodium . Cell projection, growth cone . Cell projection, axon . Colocalizes with the actin cytoskeleton in membrane ruffles and lamellipodia. Detected at the cleavage furrow and contractile ring during cytokinesis. Almost completely in nucleus in cells exposed to heat shock or 10% dimethyl sulfoxide.
Widely distributed in various tissues.
