Filamins are large actin-binding proteins that stabilize delicate three-dimensional actin webs
and link them to cellular membranes. They integrate cellular architectural and signalling
functions and are essential for fetal development and cell locomotion. Here, we describe the
history, structure and function of this group of proteins.
