Preparation and Storage

Background: Gelsolin/GSN

Gelsolin, also known as GSN, actin-depolymerizing factor/ADF, AGEL and Brevin, is a 90-95 kDa member of the villin/gelsolin family.  Widely expressed, Gelsolin binds to actin and fibronectin, and is found both secreted in plasma and in cytoplasm.  Cytoplasmic Gelsolin lacks 51 N-terminal amino acids (aa) present in the secreted protein.  Gelsolin was identified by its ability to sever actin filaments in the presence of submicromolar calcium, and plays a role in ciliogenesis.  Defects in Gelsolin cause amyloidosis type 5, a hereditary disease characterized by gelsolin amyloid deposition.  Full-length human Gelsolin is 782 aa and shares 93% aa identity with mouse and rat Gelsolin.
