Function Controls reversibly actin polymerization and depolymerization in a pH-sensitive manner. It has the ability to bind G- and F-actin in a 1:1 ratio of cofilin to actin. It is the major component of intranuclear and cytoplasmic actin rods (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
Subcellular Location Nucleus matrix {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250}.
Tissue Specificity Isoform CFL2b is expressed predominantly in skeletal muscle and heart. Isoform CFL2a is expressed in various tissues.
