abstract：:1. Cofilin is an essential actin-regulating protein widely distributed in all eucaryotes. The structure and function of cofilin are conserved during evolution. 2. Cofilin depolymerizes F-actin in vitro at alkaline pH and severs F-actin in vitro at pH lower than 7.3. Overexpression of cofilin in viable cells induced bu...
