Summary: Predicted to enable ATP binding activity; hydrolase activity; and protein kinase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in mesenchyme migration and positive regulation of gene expression. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including filopodium; lamellipodium; and myosin filament. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in actin cytoskeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome. Orthologous to human ACTG2 (actin gamma 2, smooth muscle). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 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.
