Fascin domain. This family consists of several eukaryotic fascin or singed proteins. The fascins are a structurally unique and evolutionarily conserved group of actin cross-linking proteins. Fascins function in the organisation of two major forms of actin-based structures: dynamic, cortical cell protrusions and cytoplasmic microfilament bundles. The cortical structures, which include filopodia, spikes, lamellipodial ribs, oocyte microvilli and the dendrites of dendritic cells, have roles in cell-matrix adhesion, cell interactions and cell migration, whereas the cytoplasmic actin bundles appear to participate in cell architecture. Dictyostelium hisactophilin, another actin-binding protein, is a submembranous pH sensor that signals slight changes of the H+ concentration to actin by inducing actin polymerisation and binding to microfilaments only at pH values below seven. Members of this family are histidine rich, typically contain the repeated motif of HHXH.

Fascin-like domain; members include actin-bundling/crosslinking proteins facsin, histoactophilin and singed; identified in sea urchin, Drosophila, Xenopus, rodents, and humans; The fascin-like domain adopts a beta-trefoil topology and contains an internal threefold repeat; the fascin subgroup contains four copies of the domain; Structurally similar to fibroblast growth factor (FGF)
