Disease
PALLD_HUMAN Familial pancreatic carcinoma. Disease susceptibility is associated with variants affecting the gene represented in this entry. Genetic variations in PALLD may be associated with susceptibility to myocardial infarction.[1]
Function
PALLD_HUMAN Cytoskeletal protein required for organization of normal actin cytoskeleton. Roles in establishing cell morphology, motility, cell adhesion and cell-extracellular matrix interactions in a variety of cell types. May function as a scaffolding molecule with the potential to influence both actin polymerization and the assembly of existing actin filaments into higher-order arrays. Binds to proteins that bind to either monomeric or filamentous actin. Localizes at sites where active actin remodeling takes place, such as lamellipodia and membrane ruffles. Different isoforms may have functional differences. Involved in the control of morphological and cytoskeletal changes associated with dendritic cell maturation. Involved in targeting ACTN to specific subcellular foci.[2] [3] [4]
