Located in several cellular components, including focal adhesion; lamellipodium; and male germ cell nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; early conceptus; embryo ectoderm; genitourinary system; and sensory organ. Used to study Williams-Beuren syndrome. Orthologous to human LIMK1 (LIM domain kinase 1).
