{"symbol":"GSN","synonyms":["AGEL","ADF"],"name":"gelsolin","description":"The protein encoded by this gene binds to the `plus` ends of actin monomers and filaments to prevent monomer exchange. The encoded calcium-regulated protein functions in both assembly and disassembly of actin filaments. Defects in this gene are a cause of familial amyloidosis Finnish type (FAF). Multiple transcript variants encoding several different isoforms have been found for this gene.
