Facts about Alpha-parvin.
Plays a role in sprouting angiogenesis and is needed for normal adhesion of vascular smooth muscle cells into endothelial cells during blood vessel growth (By similarity). Plays a role in the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton, formation of lamellipodia and ciliogenesis.
