Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables actin filament binding activity. Involved in actin filament fragmentation and skeletal muscle tissue development. Acts upstream of or within actin filament organization; muscle cell cellular homeostasis; and sarcomere organization. Predicted to be located in Z disc. Predicted to be active in actin cytoskeleton and cytoplasm. Is expressed in heart ventricle; limb musculature; myotome; and neural retinal epithelium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nemaline myopathy 7. Orthologous to human CFL2 (cofilin 2).
