Fascin homolog 1, actin bundling protein (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus)
Gene Summary
Fscn1 organizes filamentous actin into bundles with a minimum of 4.1:1 actin/fascin ratio. It plays a role in the organization of actin filament bundles and the formation of microspikes, membrane ruffles, and stress fibers. It is important for the formation of a diverse set of cell protrusions, such as filopodia, and for cell motility and migration
