Description

General description

Profilin 1 is a ubiquitous actin monomer-binding protein. Profilin 1 is the most ubiquitous and abundant and is highly expressed throughout development and adulthood in most tissues including brain.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid residues 128-140 of human profilin 1, conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence is identical in rat and mouse.

Application

Anti-Profilin 1 (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in:

• immunoblotting
• immunostaining
• immunoprecipitation
• immunofluorescence
• profilin enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) analysis[1]

Biochem/physiol Actions

Profilin 1 is involved in actin polymerization in response to extracellular signals. Profilins were shown to be important for normal cell proliferation, differentiation and motility. Deletion of profilin 1 gene leads to an embryonic lethal phenotype. Profilin 1 is a potent regulator of actin filament dynamics. Although profilin 1 prevents spontaneous actin polymerization by complexing with unpolymerized actin in vivo, actin-profilin complexes can be added to free barbed ends, thereby stimulating actin polymerization. Profilin 1 was suggested to act as a tumor suppressor protein based on its reduced expression in several types of invasive cancers and its ability to suppress tumorigenicity when over-expressed in breast cancer cells. Deletion of profilin 1 is associated with Miller-Dieker syndrome.
