Function

SCAB1_ARATH Plant-specific actin binding protein that bundles and stabilizes microfilaments (MFs). Has no nucleation or capping activity. Regulates MF reorganization during stomatal closure. The binding to F-actin is insensitive to Ca(2+) and pH. Binds weakly to inositol phosphates (PubMed:22356912).^{[1] [2]}
