Cells are compartmentalized by numerous membrane-enclosed organelles and
membraneless compartments to ensure that a wide variety of cellular activities occur in a …

Filamins are a family of high molecular mass cytoskeletal proteins that organize filamentous
actin in networks and stress fibers. Over the past few years it has become clear that filamins …

Iba1 is a 17-kDa EF hand protein that is specifically expressed in macrophages/microglia
and is upregulated during the activation of these cells. When exposed to macrophage …

Actin-binding protein (ABP-280, nonmuscle filamin) is a ubiquitous dimeric actin cross-
linking phosphoprotein of peripheral cytoplasm, where it promotes orthogonal branching of …

The formation of close contacts and focal contacts (co. 30 nm and 10–15 nm separation
distance respectively) has been studied during the movement of chick heart fibroblasts on …

Membrane glycoproteins that mediate platelet-platelet interactions were investigated by
identifying those associated with the cytoskeletal structures from aggregated platelets. The …

Phalloidin, the toxic drug from the mushroom Amanita phalloides, was injected into the
cytoplasm of tissue culture cells and the changes in intracellular actin distribution were …

γ-Filamin, also called ABP-L, is a filamin isoform that is specifically expressed in striated
muscles, where it is predominantly localized in myofibrillar Z-discs. A minor fraction of the …

Filamin, also called actin binding protein‐280, is a dimeric protein that cross‐links actin
filaments in the cortical cytoplasm. In addition to this ubiquitously expressed isoform (FLN1) …

Actins and myosins similar to the major proteins of muscle are the major molecular
components of intricate mechanochemical systems that perform numerous vital motility and …
