ABLIM3 (actin binding LIM protein family, member 3) protein serves as a linker between actin cytoskeleton and cell signaling pathways. This F-actin-binding protein associates with STARS (striated muscle activator of Rho signaling) and promotes activation of serum-response factor (SRF) and SRF-dependent transcription. It may serve as a scaffold protein for signaling modules of the actin cytoskeleton.
