AFAP (actin filament associated protein; also known as AFAP-110) is an adaptor protein that regulates actin filament integrity.
It is both multimodular and multimeric, and is known to simultaneously bind actin and cytosolic kinases.
As a homomultimer, AFAP binds and separates actin filaments, preventing actin cross-linking.
Upon binding to kinases, AFAP is destabilized, promoting actin polymerization.
Human AFAP is 730aa in length, and contains SH3 and SH2 binding motifs (aa69-74 and aa91-96), two pleckstrin homology domains (aa153-248 and aa347-450) and a Leu-zipper/actin binding region (aa511-637).
Over aa450-730, human AFAP is 86% identical to mouse and rat AFAP.
