Summary: Predicted to enable cytoskeletal protein binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in dendritic spine morphogenesis and regulation of postsynapse organization. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including actin cytoskeleton organization; response to bacterium; and spindle localization. Located in actin cap and lamellipodium. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in brain; genitourinary system; liver; and spleen. Used to study atopic dermatitis. Orthologous to human WASL (WASP like actin nucleation promoting factor). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

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.
