wdr1-a

Gene

wdr1-a

Protein

WD repeat-containing protein 1-A

Organism

Xenopus laevis

Length

607 amino acids

Function

Induces disassembly of actin filaments in conjunction with ADF/cofilin family proteins. Doesn't sever actin filaments alone, but caps the barbed ends of filaments severed by cofilin, which blocks annealing and depolymerization and allows more extensive severing by cofilin.

Similarity

Belongs to the WD repeat AIP1 family.
