Severin is a calcium-activated protein which binds actin. The images at the top and at the right correspond to one representative severin structure, i.e. the human severin (3fg6). It nucleates actin assembly, severes F-actin and caps actin filaments. Severin is a member of the calcium-regulated gelsolin superfamily of actin severing and capping proteins. It is named Adseverin and Scinderin as well. The image at the right is the severin with (colored lime).
