Calponin 3 Regulates Actin Cytoskeleton Rearrangement in Trophoblastic Cell Fusion

Calponin 3 (CNN3), an actin binding molecule, negatively regulates trophoblast differentiation and fusion. CNN3 phosphorylation modulates the actin-binding capacity of CNN3 and most probably regulates cytoskeleton remodeling that renders cells capable of undergoing fusion.
