Polymerization and depolymerization of actin play an essential role in eukaryotic cells. Actin exists in cells in both monomeric (G-actin) and filamentous (polymer, F-actin) forms. Actin binding proteins (ABPs) facilitate the transition between these two states, and their interactions with these two states of actin are critical for actin-based cellular processes.

It consists of an acute encephalitis with or without neurological localization symptoms.
