Profilin

PFN catalyzes the exchange of poorly polymerizing ADP-actin to readily polymerizing ATP-actin. PFN binds to poly-L-proline, thus it recruits the actin monomers to proline-rich proteins like VASP, which enhance the growing of actin polymers. PFN-I is expressed in most tissues while PFN-II is expressed in brain and kidney. PFN was found in all eukaryotes. Disease PFN from birch, peanut and other plants is a major allergen.
