Profilin
SMART ACC:SM000392
Description:Binds actin monomers, membrane polyphosphoinositides and poly-L-proline.
InterPro ACC:IPR005455
InterPro abstract:

This entry represents the Profilin family, which are small eukaryotic proteins that have different functions. In plants, they are major allergens present in pollens [ PUBMED:21458043 ].

The majority of the Profilin family members binds to monomeric actin (G-actin) in a 1:1 ratio thus preventing the polymerisation … expand

GO function:actin binding (GO:0003779)
