Summary: Enables actin binding activity. Involved in actin cytoskeleton organization and positive regulation of Rho protein signal transduction. Acts upstream of or within positive regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II and protein import into nucleus. Located in actin cytoskeleton and myofibril. Is expressed in embryo; heart; hindlimb muscle; and skeletal muscle. Orthologous to human ABRA (actin binding Rho activating protein). [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.
