Biological function summary
This protein acts in cell movement apoptosis and signal transduction. Gelsolin contributes to the remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton by promoting the disassembly of actin filaments allowing cells to change shape and move. Although it operates independently gelsolin’s activity can be influenced by calcium ions and phosphoinositides leading to its participation in various cellular activities. Gelsolin plays a role in platelet activation and may regulate cellular responses through association with the cytoskeletal complex.
Pathways
Gelsolin participates in the regulation of the actin cytoskeleton and apoptotic pathways. Within these pathways gelsolin interacts with proteins like cofilin to modulate actin filament dynamics. In apoptotic pathways it collaborates by altering the cytoskeletal architecture impacting cell death mechanisms. Gelsolin modifications in these pathways have implications for cellular processes like cell migration and apoptosis bringing it into relation with proteins such as caspases.

General info
Function
Calcium-regulated, actin-modulating protein that binds to the plus (or barbed) ends of actin monomers or filaments, preventing monomer exchange (end-blocking or capping). It can promote the assembly of monomers into filaments (nucleation) as well as sever filaments already formed (PubMed : 19666512). Plays a role in ciliogenesis (PubMed : 20393563).
Sequence similarities
Belongs to the villin/gelsolin family.
Post-translational modifications
Phosphorylation on Tyr-86, Tyr-409, Tyr-465, Tyr-603 and Tyr-651 in vitro is induced in presence of phospholipids.
