Cofilin 1 (phospho-S3) polyclonal antibody

Product Specifications

Background

Cofilin is ubiquitously expressed in eukaryotic cells where it binds to Actin, thereby regulating the rapid cycling of Actin assembly and disassembly, essential for cellular viability. Cofilin is a low molecular weight protein that binds to filamentous F-Actin by bridging two longitudinally-associated Actin subunits, changing the F-Actin filament twist. This process is allowed by the dephosphorylation of Cofilin Ser 3 by factors like opsonized zymosan. LIM kinase 1 (LIMK-1), a serine kinase, phosphorylates Cofilin and renders it unable to bind and depolymerize F-Actin.
