Function
Controls reversibly actin polymerization and depolymerization in a pH-sensitive manner. It has the ability to bind G- and F-actin in a 1:1 ratio of cofilin to actin. It is the major component of intranuclear and cytoplasmic actin rods. -
Tissue specificity
Widely distributed in various tissues. -
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the actin-binding proteins ADF family.
Contains 1 ADF-H domain. -
Post-translational
modificationsPhosphorylated on Ser-3 in resting cells. -
Cellular localization
Nucleus matrix. Cytoplasm > cytoskeleton. Almost completely in nucleus in cells exposed to heat shock or 10% dimethyl sulfoxide. - Information by UniProt

Immunofluorescence analysis of Phospho-Cofilin pSer3 was done on 70% confluent log phase PC-3 cells. The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde for 10 minutes, permeabilized with 0.1% Triton™ X-100 for 10 minutes, and blocked with 1% BSA for 1 hour at room temperature. The cells were labeled with ab12866 at 1:250 dilution in 0.1% BSA and incubated for 3 hours at room temperature and then labeled with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG (H+L) Superclonal™ Secondary Antibody, Alexa Fluor® 488 conjugate at a dilution of 1:2000 for 45 minutes at room temperature (Panel a: green). Nuclei (Panel b: blue) were stained with SlowFade® Gold Antifade Mountant with DAPI. F-actin (Panel c: red) was stained with Rhodamine Phalloidin (1:300). Panel d is a merged image showing cytoplasmic and nuclear localization. Panel e is a no primary antibody control. The images were captured at 60X magnification.

Peptide Competition and Phosphatase Treatment
Lysates prepared from MDCK cells treated with staurosporine (1) or left untreated (2-6) were resolved by SDS-PAGE on a 10% polyacrylamide gel and transferred to PVDF. Membranes were either left untreated (1-5) or treated with lambda phosphatase (6), blocked with a 5% BSA-TBST buffer for one hour at room temperature, and incubated with the ab12866 antibody for two hours at room temperature in a 3% BSA-TBST buffer, following prior incubation with: no peptide (1, 2, 6), the non phosphopeptide corresponding to the immunogen (3), a generic phosphoserine-containing peptide (4) or, the phosphopeptide immunogen (5). After washing, membranes were incubated with goat F(ab)2 anti-rabbit IgG HRP conjugate and bands were detected using the Pierce SuperSignal method. The data show that only the peptide corresponding to cofilin [pS3] blocks the antibody signal. The data also show that phosphatase stripping eliminates the signal, verifying that the anti -
ICC/IF image of ab12866 stained MCF7 cells. The cells were 4% PFA fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab12866, 1µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence analysis of human neuroblastoma cells labeling Cofilin (phospho S3) with ab12866 at 1/500 dilution. Cells were fixed in paraformaldehyde, permeabilized for 15 minutes in 0.01% Triton X-100, blocked using 5% serum for 30 minutes at 20°C, then incubated with ab12866 at a 1/500 dilution for 2 hours at 20°C. The secondary used was a Dylight 488 conjugated donkey anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/500 dilution.

Flow Cytometry analysis of U-87 MG cells labeling Cofilin (phospho S3) with ab12866. Cells were fixed with 70% ethanol for 10 minutes, permeabilized with 0.25% Triton™ X-100 for 20 minutes, and blocked with 5% BSA for 30 minutes at room temperature. Cells were labeled with Anti-Cofilin (phospho S3) antibody (ab12866, red) or with rabbit isotype control (pink) at 3-5 ug/million cells in 2.5% BSA. After incubation at room temperature for 2 hours, the cells were labeled with Alexa Fluor® 488 Goat Anti-Rabbit Secondary Antibody at a dilution of 1/400 for 30 minutes at room temperature. The representative 10,000 cells were acquired and analyzed for each sample. The purple histogram represents unstained control cells and the green histogram represents no-primary-antibody control.
