Summary: Enables protein kinase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to electrical stimulus; regulation of cyclin-dependent protein serine/threonine kinase activity; and regulation of norepinephrine uptake. Located in actin cytoskeleton; axon; and membrane raft. Part of protein-containing complex. Used to study metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. Biomarker of temporal lobe epilepsy. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Baraitser-Winter syndrome 1 and thrombocytopenia. Orthologous to human ACTB (actin beta).

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.
