'''Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein''' (VASP) belongs to the Ena-VASP family. It binds proteins with E/DFPPPPXD/E motif and targets them to focal adhesion cell membranes. VASP is an actin- and profilin-binding protein<ref>PMID:16197368</ref>. VASP is associated with filament formation and promotes elongation. | '''Vasodilator-stimulated phosphoprotein''' (VASP) belongs to the Ena-VASP family.
