Palladin (PALLD)

Cytoskeletal protein required for organization of normal actin cytoskeleton. Roles in establishing cell morphology, motility, cell adhesion and cell-extracellular matrix interactions in a variety of cell types.

May serve as a scaffolding molecule with the potential to affect both actin polymerization and the assembly of existing actin filaments into higher-order arrays. Binds to proteins which bind to either monomeric or filamentous actin.
