Mouse Fascin,Fscn1 ELI

Actin-binding protein that contains 2 major actin binding sites (By similarity).

Organizes filamentous actin into parallel bundles (PubMed:7738015).

Plays a role in the organization of actin filament bundles and the formation of microspikes, membrane ruffles, and stress fibers (By similarity).

Important for the formation of a diverse set of cell protrusions, such as filopodia, and for cell motility and migration (PubMed:21685497).

Mediates reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton and axon growth cone collapse in response to NGF (By similarity).
