NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
This gene encodes a protein that binds actin and calcium. This gene is induced by cytokines and interferon and may promote macrophage activation and growth of vascular smooth muscle cells and T-lymphocytes. Polymorphisms in this gene may be associated with systemic sclerosis. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants, but the full-length and coding nature of some of these variants is not certain. [provided by RefSeq, Jan 2016]
Uniprot Description
AIF1: Actin-binding protein that enhances membrane ruffling and RAC activation. Enhances the actin-bundling activity of LCP1. Binds calcium. Plays a role in RAC signaling and in phagocytosis. May play a role in macrophage activation and function. Promotes the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and of T- lymphocytes. Enhances lymphocyte migration. Plays a role in vascular inflammation. 3 isoforms of the human protein are produced by alternative splicing.
Protein type: Cytoskeletal
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 6p21.3
Cellular Component: actin filament; cytoplasm; cytosol; lamellipodium; nucleus; perinuclear region of cytoplasm; phagocytic cup
Molecular Function: actin filament binding; calcium ion binding
Biological Process: actin filament bundle formation; actin filament polymerization; inflammatory response; negative regulation of smooth muscle cell proliferation; phagocytosis, engulfment; positive regulation of smooth muscle cell proliferation; positive regulation of T cell proliferation; Rac protein signal transduction
