Abstract excerpt
Filamins cross-link the actin cytoskeleton into orthogonal networks and modulate the response of cells to their chemical and mechanical environment by regulating changes in shape and motility. Null mutations in FLNA, the gene that encodes filamin A, lead to defects in neuronal migration, vascular function and connective tissue integrity. By contrast, missense mutations in this same gene produce a spectrum of...
