Disease relevance of PFN1/PRF1

  • Plant profilins are of interest because immunological cross-reactivity between pollen and human profilin may be the cause of hay fever and broad allergies to pollens [1].
 

High impact information on PFN1/PRF1

 

Biological context of PFN1/PRF1

 

Anatomical context of PFN1/PRF1

  • Taken together, these data suggest that the group Ie formins act with profilin to regulate actin polymerization at specific sites associated with the cell membrane [5].
