Actin erfüllt eine Reihe von Funktionen:

ATP binding – protein binding – structural constituent of cytoskeleton – glucuronosyltransferase activity

Actin spielt in den folgenden Prozessen eine Rolle:

cytokinesis – cytoskeleton organization – maintenance of protein location in cell – phagocytosis, engulfment – sperm individualization – chondroitin sulfate biosynthetic process – heart development – heparan sulfate proteoglycan biosynthetic process – positive regulation of NFAT protein import into nucleus – skeletal myofibril assembly

Actin ist wie folgt lokalisiert:

Ino80 complex – actin filament – lipid particle – cytoskeleton – mitochondrion
