Beschreibung

General description

Profilins are actin-monomer-binding proteins, abundantly expressed in all eukaryotic cells from yeast to mammals. Profilin 2 (PFN2) is the neuronal specific isoform. It is an actin-binding protein and is a member of the small G-actin-binding class of protein.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amion acid residues 128-140 of human profilin 2 conjugated to KLH. The corresponding sequence is identical in mouse and rat.

Application

Anti-Profilin 2 (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunostaining and immunoblotting.

Biochem/physiol Actions

Profilins are key regulators of actin dynamics. Profilin 2 (PFN2) associates with a number of proteins involved in membrane trafficking and endocytosis, such as synapsin and dynamin 1. It associates with dynamin 1 through the C-terminal proline-rich domain of dynamin 1 and thereby competes with the binding of SH3 ligands, such as endophilin and amphiphysin, thus interfering with the assembly of the endocytic machinery. Overexpression of profilin 2 inhibits endocytosis. Absence of profilin 2 in neurons increases endocytosis and membrane recycling. Profilin 2 is required for stimulated actin polymerization in the synapse and is involved in the regulation of synaptic vesicle exocytosis, neuronal excitability and complex behavior.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.
