The protein encoded by this gene binds to the "plus" ends of actin monomers and filaments to prevent monomer exchange. The encoded calcium-regulated protein functions in both assembly and disassembly of actin filaments. Defects in this gene are a cause of familial amyloidosis Finnish type (FAF). Multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
A study in mice demonstrated that the GSN exhibited early expression changes and a pI shift towards basic pH in serum following selective dorsal skin exposure to 40 Gy of ionizing radiation, as part of a proteomic investigation into radiation-induced cutaneous lesions [Guipaud et al. DOI:10.1002/pmic.200601032].
