  Function in Host
Binds to actin and affects the structure of the cytoskeleton. At high concentrations, profilin prevents the polymerization of actin, whereas it enhances it at low concentrations. By binding to PIP2, itinhibits the formation of IP3 and DG. Inhibits androgen receptor (AR) and HTT aggregation and binding of G-actin is essential for itsinhibition of AR. [1]

Function of This Protein During Virus Infection
Virus NameSARS-COV-2 Protein Function Anti-viral [2]
Infected TissueColon Infection Time48 h
Infected CellCaco-2 cells (Human colorectal adenocarcinoma cells) Cellosaurus IDCVCL_0025 
Method DescriptionTo detect the role of host protein PFN1 in viral infection, PFN1 protein knockout Caco-2 cells were infected with SARS-COV-2 for 48 h , and the effects on infection was detected through qPCR.
ResultsIt is reported that Knockdown of PFN1 leads to the Increase the vRNA levels compared with control group.
