Actin-binding protein anillin is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ANLN gene.[1][2] It is a 124 kDa scaffolding protein involved in cytokinesis. It is found in high concentrations near the cleavage furrow and coincides with RhoA, the key regulator of contractile-ring formation.[3]

Structure [link]

At the N-terminus, there is an actin and myosin binding domain; at the C terminus, there is a PH domain, which is conserved and is essential for its function.[3]
