Function
Binds to actin and affects the structure of the cytoskeleton. At high concentrations, profilin prevents the polymerization of actin, whereas it enhances it at low concentrations. By binding to PIP2, it inhibits the formation of IP3 and DG. Inhibits androgen receptor (AR) and HTT aggregation and binding of G-actin is essential for its inhibition of AR.

Profilin-1, Epididymis tissue protein Li 184a, Profilin I, PFN1

Notes
Human Profilin 1 Antibody Pair - BSA and Azide free (ab302745) is a matched pair of unconjugated recombinant rabbit monoclonal capture and detection antibodies used to quantify Human Profilin 1 in sandwich ELISAs and many other pair-based applications.
Our RabMAb® technology is a patented hybridoma-based technology for making rabbit monoclonal antibodies. For details on our patents, please refer to RabMAb® patents.
Use our conjugation kits for antibody conjugates that are ready-to-use in as little as 20 minutes with <1 minute hands-on-time and 100% antibody recovery: available for fluorescent dyes, HRP, biotin and gold.
The pair can be used in variety of assays and platforms including but not limited to:
- Sandwich ELISA
- FRET/TR-FRET/HTRF
- Meso Scale Discovery® (MSD®)
- Bead-based assays
- AlphaLISA®/AlphaScreen®
- DELFIA® immunoassays
- Simoa® and Single Molecule Counting (SMC™) immunoassays
- Multiplex
Our antibody pairs are supplied in a carrier-free format that is conjugation-ready:
- Buffer free of BSA, sodium azide, and glycerol for higher conjugation efficiency.
- Concentration of ~1 mg/ml as measured by the protein A280 method.
We can label antibodies for you: get in touch today to discuss how we can help accelerate your assay development with custom conjugation services.
Pairs are screened in biological samples, including plasma and serum, to ensure specificity in complex samples.
Please note:
The recommended antibody orientation is based on internal optimization in sandwich ELISA. Antibody orientation is assay dependent and needs to be optimized for each assay type.
The range provided for this antibody pair is based on initial sandwich ELISA validation data using recombinant protein. Performance and range of the antibody pair will depend on the specific characteristics of your assay, including standard protein selection.
We guarantee the product works in sandwich ELISA, but we do not guarantee the sensitivity or dynamic range of the antibodies in other assays.

- Activity summary
Profilin 1 also known as Profilin-1 or Profilin is a small actin-binding protein with a molecular weight of approximately 15 kDa. It is expressed across various tissues including muscle brain and epithelial cells. Profilin 1 interacts with monomeric actin (G-actin) to regulate actin polymerization by binding to actin monomers. This protein also interacts with polyphosphoinositides and proline-rich sequences playing a mechanical role in balancing actin filament assembly and disassembly.
- Biological function summary
Profilin 1 acts as an important regulator of the cytoskeleton facilitating cellular processes like motility and division. It participates in the formation of actin filaments by delivering actin monomers to barbed ends promoting polymerization. Profilin 1 is part of the complex that controls actin dynamics and this ability to modulate actin structure allows it to influence cell shape and internal movement. The protein's interactions help support the actin cytoskeleton for intracellular trafficking and signal transduction.
- Pathways
Profilin 1 has important roles in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton and Rho signaling pathways. These pathways are important in cell migration and adhesion. During cellular processes Profilin 1's interactions with actin and polyphosphoinositides link it to other proteins such as Rho GTPases which are associated with cytoskeletal dynamics. Profilin 1 can influence these pathways by modulating actin dynamics and interacting with proteins involved in these signaling cascades.
- Associated diseases and disorders
Disruptions in Profilin 1 function are linked to neurodegenerative diseases and cancer metastasis. For example aberrant Profilin 1 activity can contribute to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) by affecting neuronal structure and transport. Dysregulation of its interaction with actin or polyphosphoinositides might also lead to enhanced cancer cell migration and invasion. It may interact with other proteins implicated in these diseases such as the ALS-related protein TDP-43 or cancer-related kinases making it significant in understanding these conditions.
