Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables actin filament binding activity and signaling receptor binding activity. Involved in cytoskeleton organization; positive regulation of actin filament depolymerization; and positive regulation of embryonic development. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including mitotic cytokinesis; neural crest cell migration; and neural fold formation. Located in cell-cell junction; cortical actin cytoskeleton; and lamellipodium. Is expressed in several structures, including early conceptus; embryo mesenchyme; genitourinary system; immune system; and nervous system. Orthologous to human CFL1 (cofilin 1).
