Background

Cofilin 2 (muscle), also known as CFL2, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the CFL2 gene. It is mapped to 14q12. This gene encodes an intracellular protein that is involved in the regulation of actin-filament dynamics. And this protein is a major component of intranuclear and cytoplasmic actin rods. It can bind G- and F-actin in a 1:1 ratio of cofilin to actin, and it reversibly controls actin polymerization and depolymerization in a pH-dependent manner. Mutations in this gene cause nemaline myopathy type 7, a form of congenital myopathy. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants.

Flow Cytometry,IF,IHC,ICC,WB

Form

Lyophilized

Reconstitution

Add 0.2ml of distilled water will yield a concentration of 500μg/ml.

Function

Controls reversibly actin polymerization and depolymerization in a pH-sensitive manner. Its F-actin depolymerization activity is regulated by association with CSPR3. It has the ability to bind G- and F-actin in a 1:1 ratio of cofilin to actin. It is the major component of intranuclear and cytoplasmic actin rods. Required for muscle maintenance. May play a role during the exchange of alpha-actin forms during the early postnatal remodeling of the sarcomere.

Components

Each vial contains 4mg Trehalose, 0.9mg NaCl, 0.2mg Na₂HPO₄, 0.05mg NaN₃.
