Preferred term

Gelsolin  

Type

  • Topical Descriptor

Broader concept

Entry terms

  • Gelsolin Protein
  • Serum Actin Inhibitory Protein

Scope note

  • A 90-kDa protein produced by macrophages that severs ACTIN filaments and forms a cap on the newly exposed filament end. Gelsolin is activated by CALCIUM ions and participates in the assembly and disassembly of actin, thereby increasing the motility of some CELLS.

History note

  • 1994(1980)
