Controls reversibly actin polymerization and depolymerization in a pH-sensitive manner. It has the ability to bind G- and F-actin in a 1:1 ratio of cofilin to actin. It is the major component of intranuclear and cytoplasmic actin rods.Kobayashi M, et al. (2006) EMBO J 25(4): 713-26.Wang Y, et al. (2005) Biol Chem 280(13): 12683-9.Smith-Beckerman DM, et al.

Species
Homo Sapiens (Human)
Specificity
The antibody detects endogenous level of cofilin only when phosphorylated at serine 3.
Binds to F-actin and exhibits pH-sensitive F-actin depolymerizing activity. Regulates actin cytoskeleton dynamics. Important for normal progress through mitosis and normal cytokinesis. Plays a role in the regulation of cell morphology and cytoskeletal organization. Required for the up-regulation of atypical chemokine receptor ACKR2 from endosomal compartment to cell membrane, increasing its efficiency in chemokine uptake and degradation
Pathway
Regulation of actin cytoskeleton Fc gamma R-mediated phagocytosis
Protein Families
Actin-binding proteins ADF family
Tissue Specificity
Widely distributed in various tissues.

Purification
Antibodies were produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic phosphopeptide and KLH conjugates. Antibodies were purified by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific phosphopeptide. Non-phospho specific antibodies were removed by chromatogramphy usi
