Summary: Enables identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including actin filament polymerization; cellular response to type II interferon; and endosomal transport. Located in cell-cell junction; phagocytic vesicle; and vesicle membrane. Is expressed in brain; heart; liver; and spleen. Used to study IgA glomerulonephritis and Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome; X-linked severe congenital neutropenia; and thrombocytopenia. Orthologous to human WAS (WASP actin nucleation promoting factor).

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.
