'''Profilin''' (PFN) enhances actin growth by binding to monomeric actin, thus becoming profilactin. PFN catalyzes the exchange of poorly polymerizing ADP-actin to readily polymerizing ATP-actin<ref>PMID:27307590</ref>. 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.
