Gene information for VIL1 (Homo sapiens)
(Information is obtained from NCBI Gene database)
Entrez gene ID7429
Official gene symbolVIL1
Full namevillin 1
Aliases,D2S1471,VIL,
Gene summaryThis gene encodes a member of a family of calcium-regulated actin-binding proteins. This protein represents a dominant part of the brush border cytoskeleton which functions in the capping, severing, and bundling of actin filaments. Two mRNAs of 2.7 kb and 3.5 kb have been observed; they result from utilization of alternate poly-adenylation signals present in the terminal exon. [provided by RefSeq]
