AHSA2
Description
The AHSA2 gene encodes for actin-binding protein 1 (ABP1), a crucial component involved in the regulation of actin filament dynamics. ABP1 plays a vital role in various cellular processes, including cell migration, adhesion, and intracellular transport. Its ability to bind to actin monomers and filaments allows it to influence the assembly, disassembly, and stability of actin structures, thereby impacting cellular morphology and function.
