Summary: Predicted to enable actin monomer binding activity and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate binding activity. Involved in several processes, including negative regulation of ruffle assembly; positive regulation of stress fiber assembly; and synapse organization. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of actin filament polymerization and regulation of synaptic vesicle exocytosis. Is active in several cellular components, including Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; glutamatergic synapse; and postsynapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; cornea stroma; ganglia; hemolymphoid system gland; and tooth. Orthologous to human PFN2 (profilin 2).

The PFN2a suppresses C2C12 myogenic development via the p53 pathway. Si-p53 (siRNA-p53) reverses the PFN2a inhibitory effect on C2C12 proliferation and the PFN2a promotion effect on C2C12 apoptosis, and then attenuates the suppression of PFN2a on myogenic differentiation.

RARalpha competes with other PFN2a-binding proteins bearing PRMs and involved in actin filaments elongation. Consequently, the actin filament network is altered and MEFs adhesion is decreased. This novel role opens novel avenues for the understanding of pathologies characterized by increased levels of cytoplasmic RARalpha.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
