Preferred Label : wiskott-aldrich syndrome protein family;
MeSH definition : A family of microfilament proteins whose name derives from the fact that mutations
in members of this protein family have been associated with WISKOTT-ALDRICH SYNDROME.
They are involved in ACTIN polymerization and contain a polyproline-rich region that
binds to PROFILIN, and a verprolin homology domain that binds G-ACTIN.;
