Target Details for Cofilin

Target: Cofilin (CFL1) (Cofilin 1 (CFL1))

Alternative Name: Cofilin-1

Background: Cofilin is ubiquitously expressed in eukaryotic cells where it binds to Actin, thereby regulating the rapid cycling of Actin assembly and disassembly essential for cellular viability. Cofilin is a low molecular weight protein that binds to filamentous F-Actin by bridging two longitudinally associated Actin subunits changing the F-Actin filament twist. This process is allowed by the dephosphorylation of Cofilin Ser 3 by factors such as opsonized zymosan. Lim kinase 1, a serine kinase, phosphorylates Cofilin and renders it unable to bind and depolymerise F-Actin.Synonyms: 18 kDa phosphoprotein, CFL, CFL1, Cofilin non-muscle isoform, p18
