About Pfn1

Summary

Enables phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate binding activity and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process; positive regulation of stress fiber assembly; and positive regulation of viral transcription. Located in cytoplasm; neuron projection; and synapse. Is active in several cellular components, including Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse; parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse; and postsynapse. Used to study membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 18. Orthologous to human PFN1 (profilin 1).
