Villin (VIL) is an actin-binding protein. It contains gelsolin-like domains in its N-terminal and a helical headpiece which binds actin[1]. Supervillin (SVIL) contains numerous gelsolin-like domains in its C-terminal and interacts with actin. Advillin (AVIL) is another actin-binding protein in the gelsolin superfamily which is expressed in the peripheral sensory neurons. Cytovillin (CVIL) or ezrin serves as intermediate between plasma membrane and actin cytoskeleton. images on the left and right correspond to one representative villin structure, i.e. the human supervillin headpiece (2k6n).
