Kinase Classification:      Asp-Based PTP      CIN

※ CIN family introduction

    CIN, also known as Chronophin, belong to Asp-Based protein phosphatase family, which use an Asp residue as a nucleophile for catalysis. CIN always colocalized with F-actin and cofilin in membrane ruffles and lmellipodia. CIN can directly dephosphorylate cofilin, and involved cofilin-dependent actin cytoskeletal reorganization. CIN plays an important role in regulating cofilin-dependent cell division and normal cytoskinesis. CIN also possesses activity towards pyridoxal 5'-phosphate (PLP), pyridoxine 5'-phosphate (PMP) and pyridoxine 5'-phosphate (PNP)(1).
