Official Symbol: gsnl-1
Official Full Name: Gelsolin-like protein 1
Primary source: WormBase:WBGene00010593
Locus tag: CELE_K06A4.3
See related: AllianceGenome:WB:WBGene00010593
Gene type: protein coding
RefSeq status: REVIEWED
Organism: Caenorhabditis elegans (strain: Bristol N2)
Lineage: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Ecdysozoa; Nematoda; Chromadorea; Rhabditida; Rhabditina; Rhabditomorpha; Rhabditoidea; Rhabditidae; Peloderinae; Caenorhabditis
Summary: Enables actin filament binding activity; actin monomer binding activity; and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate binding activity. Involved in several processes, including actin filament depolymerization; barbed-end actin filament capping; and positive regulation of synapse pruning. Located in actin cytoskeleton and striated muscle dense body. Is expressed in body wall musculature; enteric muscle; hypodermis; and reproductive system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Finnish type amyloidosis and nephrotic syndrome type 21. Orthologous to several human genes including CAPG (capping actin protein, gelsolin like).

What's a GeneRIF?

GSNL-1 acts downstream of the cell death pathway in synapse elimination. Cleavage of GSNL-1 by CED-3 induces synapse elimination.
