Background:

VASP belongs to the Ena/VASP family. Ena/VASP proteins are actin-associated proteins involved in a range of processes dependent on cytoskeleton remodeling and cell polarity such as axon guidance, lamellipodial and filopodial dynamics, platelet activation and cell migration. VASP promotes actin filament elongation. It protects the barbed end of growing actin filaments against capping and increases the rate of actin polymerization in the presence of capping protein. VASP stimulates actin filament elongation by promoting the transfer of profilin-bound actin monomers onto the barbed end of growing actin filaments. VASP plays a role in actin-based mobility of Listeria monocytogenes in host cells. Regulates actin dynamics in platelets and plays an important role in regulating platelet aggregation. Human platelet activation is inhibited by agents such as prostaglandins and NO donors, which elevate cAMP or cGMP levels. VASP is phosphorylated in human platelets in response to both cAMP- and cGMP-elevating agents, and its phosphorylation correlates with platelet inhibition.
