RESUMO

The ADF/cofilins are a family of actin-binding proteins that remodel the actin cytoskeleton, for example during cytokinesis, by severing actin filaments and also increasing the rate at which monomers leave the filament's pointed end. Plants and animals have multiple ADF/cofilin genes and other eukaryotes have a single ADF/cofilin gene.
