molecular function |
| GO:0003779 | | actin binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with monomeric or multimeric forms of actin, including actin filaments. |
| GO:0005515 | | protein binding | | Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any protein or protein complex (a complex of two or more proteins that may include other nonprotein molecules). |
biological process |
| GO:0030042 | | actin filament depolymerization | | Disassembly of actin filaments by the removal of actin monomers from a filament. |
| GO:0051014 | | actin filament severing | | The process in which an actin filament is broken down into smaller filaments. |
| GO:0008154 | | actin polymerization or depolymerization | | Assembly or disassembly of actin filaments by the addition or removal of actin monomers from a filament. |
| GO:0030836 | | positive regulation of actin filament depolymerization | | Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of actin depolymerization. |
cellular component |
| GO:0015629 | | actin cytoskeleton | | The part of the cytoskeleton (the internal framework of a cell) composed of actin and associated proteins. Includes actin cytoskeleton-associated complexes. |
| GO:0030864 | | cortical actin cytoskeleton | | The portion of the actin cytoskeleton, comprising filamentous actin and associated proteins, that lies just beneath the plasma membrane. |
| GO:0005737 | | cytoplasm | | All of the contents of a cell excluding the plasma membrane and nucleus, but including other subcellular structures. |
| GO:0070062 | | extracellular exosome | | A vesicle that is released into the extracellular region by fusion of the limiting endosomal membrane of a multivesicular body with the plasma membrane. Extracellular exosomes, also simply called exosomes, have a diameter of about 40-100 nm. |
| GO:0005622 | | intracellular | | The living contents of a cell; the matter contained within (but not including) the plasma membrane, usually taken to exclude large vacuoles and masses of secretory or ingested material. In eukaryotes it includes the nucleus and cytoplasm. |
