Summary: Predicted to enable several functions, including G protein activity; dynein intermediate chain binding activity; and guanyl ribonucleotide binding activity. Predicted to contribute to pre-miRNA binding activity. Acts upstream of or within actin cytoskeleton organization; protein import into nucleus; and protein-containing complex localization. Located in cytoplasm and nuclear envelope. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; central nervous system; extraembryonic component; hemolymphoid system gland; and sensory organ.

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
