Gene: [11q13/CFL1] cofilin 1 (non-muscle); [CFL ]


COM

The CFL1 gene was mapped to chromosome 11q13 by fluorescence in situ hybridization (Gillett-1996)."

FUN

Cofilin is a widely distributed intracellular actin-modulating protein that binds and depolymerizes filamentous F-actin and inhibits the polymerization of monomeric G-actin in a pH-dependent manner. It is involved in the translocation of actin-cofilin complex from cytoplasm to nucleus."

FAG

[1] A gene coding for another cofilin has been mapped to chr 14: GEM:14^/CFL2.
