Actin-binding proteins

Actin-binding proteins are specialized molecules that interact with actin, a crucial protein forming the structural framework of the cell. These proteins help organize, stabilize, and modify actin filaments, which are part of the cell’s cytoskeleton responsible for maintaining cell shape, enabling movement, and facilitating internal transport. By regulating actin dynamics, actin-binding proteins play essential roles in processes like cell division, migration, and response to environmental signals, ensuring proper cell function and adaptability.
