Villin

From Proteopedia

Template:STRUCTURE 2k6n Villin (VIL) is an actin-binding protein. The images at the top and at the right correspond to one representative Villin structure, i.e. human supervillin headpiece (2k6n). It contains gelsolin-like domains in its N-terminal and a helical headpiece which binds actin. ^[1] Supervillin (SVIL) contains numerous gelsolin-like domains in its C-terminal and interacts with actin. Advillin (AVIL) is another actin-binding protein in the Gelsolin superfamily which is expressed in the peripheral sensory neurons.
