Gsn - gelsolin

Enables phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase catalytic subunit binding activity. Involved in several processes, including actin filament capping; actin polymerization or depolymerization; and positive regulation of protein processing in phagocytic vesicle. Acts upstream of or within cellular response to interferon-gamma and vesicle-mediated transport. Located in lamellipodium and phagocytic vesicle. Colocalizes with focal adhesion. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; genitourinary system; heart; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Finnish type amyloidosis. Orthologous to human GSN (gelsolin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
