肌动蛋白结合蛋白是一类调节肌动蛋白聚合、成束或交联的蛋白质,迄今已经发现160多种。通过与肌动蛋白相互作用,直接或间接参与肌动蛋白纤丝的聚合及解聚、纤丝成束与交联,从而介导细胞形态的维持、细胞运动等众多生物学功能。
Actin-bindingproteins can regulate the assembly, bundling and crosslinking of actm. It has been found more than 160 actin binding proteins. By interacting with actin, they participate directly or indirectly in the assembly and disassembly of actin filaments, actin bundling and crosslinking. They are involved in so many cell functions, such as keeping cellular appearance and mediating cellular movement and so on.
