  • 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 or villin-2 serves as intermediate between plasma membrane and actin cytoskeleton.
