Background:

Cofilin is ubiquitously expressed in eukaryotic cells where it binds to Actin,thereby regulating the rapid cycling of Actin assembly and disassembly essential for cellular viability. Cofilin is a low molecular weight protein that binds to filamentous F-Actin by bridging two longitudinally associated Actin subunits changing the F-Actin filament twist. This process is allowed by the dephosphorylation of Cofilin Ser 3 by factors such as opsonized zymosan.Lim kinase 1, a serine kinase, phosphorylates Cofilin and renders it unable to bind and depolymerise F-Actin.

Specificity:

Cofilin1/2 (T88) polyclonal antibody detects endogenous levels of Cofilin1/2 protein.
