General description
Anti-Profilin 1 (N-terminal) is developed in rabbit using as immunogen a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid residues of human profilin 1, conjugated to keyhole limpet hemocyanin (KLH). Profilin 1 is a ubiquitous actin monomer-binding protein. Profilin 1 is highly expressed throughout development and adulthood in most of the tissues including brain.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acid residues 2-17 of human profilin 1, conjugated to KLH. The correspopnding rat and mouse sequence differs by one amino acid. This sequence is 70% similar to the corresponding sequence in profilin 2.
Application
Anti-Profilin 1 (N-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used in immunoblotting and immunofluorescence.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Profilin 1 is involved in actin polymerization in response to extracellular signals. Profilins were shown to be important for normal cell proliferation, differentiation and motility.. Profilin 1 is a potent regulator of actin filament dynamics. Profilin 1 was suggested to act as a tumor suppressor protein based on its reduced expression in several types of invasive cancers and its ability to suppress tumorigenicity when overexpressed in breast cancer cells. Deletion of profilin 1 gene leads to an embryonic lethal phenotype and Miller-Dieker syndrome.
Physical form
Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

Profilin1 (PFN1) is a ubiquitously expressed protein known for its function as a regulator of actin polymerization and dynamics. A recent discovery linked mutant PFN1 to Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), which is a fatal and progressive motor neuron disease. We

Single amino acid mutations in profilin 1 (PFN1) have been found to cause amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Recently, we developed a mouse model for ALS using a PFN1 mutation (glycine 118 to valine, G118V), and we are now interested in

Profilin 1 is a crucial actin regulator, interacting with monomeric actin and several actin-binding proteins controlling actin polymerization. Recently, it has become evident that this profilin isoform associates with microtubules via formins and interferes with microtubule elongation at the cell

The recent identification of profilin1 mutations in 25 familial ALS cases has linked altered function of this cytoskeleton-regulating protein to the pathogenesis of motor neuron disease. To investigate the pathological role of mutant profilin1 in motor neuron disease, we generated
