Description
Profilins (Profilin-1, Profilin-2 and Profilin-3) act as nucleotide exchange factors that use ATP to charge Actin, a process that regulates Actin polymerization by subsequently sequestering the Actin monomer. Profilin-2, also known as PFN2 or PFL, is a 140 amino acid protein that is ubiquitously expressed with highest expression in kidney, brain and skeletal muscle. Like other members of the Profilin family, Profilin-2 functions as an Actin monomer-binding protein that influences the structure of the cytoskeleton by regulating Actin polymerization in response to extracellular signals. High levels of Profilin-2 inhibit Actin polymerization, while lower levels enhance Actin polymerization, suggesting that the expression of Profilin-2 is regulated by the need for polymerization within the cell. Two isoforms of Profilin-2 exist due to alternative splicing events.
