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.
