DBN1
a cytoplasmic actin-binding protein thought to play a role in the process of neuronal growth. It is a member of the drebrin family of proteins that are developmentally regulated in the brain. A decrease in the amount of this protein in the brain has been implicated as a possible contributing factor in the pathogenesis of memory disturbance in Alzheimer's disease. Expressed in brain neurons, heart, placenta, skeletal muscle, kidney and pancreas. Two alternatively spliced isoforms have been described. Note: This description may include information from UniProtKB.
