Plastins regulate ectoplasmic specialization via its actin bundling activity on microfilaments in the rat testis

Plastins regulate ectoplasmic specialization via its actin bundling activity on microfilaments in the rat testis

Plastins are a family of actin binding proteins (ABPs) known to cross-link actin microfilaments in mammalian cells, creating actin microfilament bundles necessary to confer cell polarity and cell shape. Plastins also support cell movement in response to changes in environment, involved in cell/tissu...
