products description :
Destrin (actin depolymerizing factor), also known as DSTN, is a member of the ADF/Cofilin/destrin superfamily that has the ability to rapidly depolymerize F-Actin in a stoichiometric manner. DSTN is a small phosphoinositide-sensitive actin-binding protein capable of depolymerizing actin-filaments in vitro. It is found in various epithelial and endothelial cells but is practically absent from adult mouse heart and skeletal muscle cells. DSTN shares 71% sequence homology with Cofilin, however the two proteins differ in their interaction with Actin. Recombinant human DSTN protein, fused to His-tag at C-terminus, was expressed in E.coli and purified by using conventional chromatography techniques.

ncbi summary :
The product of this gene belongs to the actin-binding proteins ADF family. This family of proteins is responsible for enhancing the turnover rate of actin in vivo. This gene encodes the actin depolymerizing protein that severs actin filaments (F-actin) and binds to actin monomers (G-actin). Two transcript variants encoding distinct isoforms have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
uniprot summary :
Destrin: an actin-depolymerizing cytoskeletal protein that belongs to the ADF actin-binding protein family. Severs actin filaments (F-actin) and binds to actin monomers (G-actin). Present in many vertebrate tissues and particularly abundant in neuronal cells. It binds F-actin in a pH-dependent manner which affects it s severing/depolymerizing activities. It also binds G-actin at pH 8.0 thereby sequestering monomers and preventing polymerization. Protein type: Motility/polarity/chemotaxis; Actin-binding. Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 20p12.1. Cellular Component: cortical actin cytoskeleton; actin cytoskeleton. Molecular Function: actin binding. Biological Process: actin filament severing; actin filament depolymerization; positive regulation of actin filament depolymerization; actin polymerization and/or depolymerization
