| Short Name | Villin-3 |
| description | Villin is an actin-binding protein that is found in a variety of tissues. It is able to bind to the barbed end of actin filaments with high affinity and can sever filaments []. In addition, villin's activity is important for actin bundling in certain cell types []. It was first isolated as a major component of the core of intestinal microvilli [].Five villin proteins (Villin1-5) coexist in Arabidopsis. This entry represents the Villin-3 family. It has been shown that Villin-1 and Villin-3 have distinct and overlapping functions in formation andturnover of actin filament bundles []. While Villin-2 and Villin3 act redundantly to regulate cell elongation and directional organ growth []through bundling of actin filament []. |
