Gene information for GSN (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID2934
Official gene symbolGSN
Full namegelsolin
Aliases,DKFZp313L0718,
Gene summaryThe 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]
