Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables actin monomer binding activity. Involved in several processes, including actin filament organization; embryonic pattern specification; and positive regulation of cell projection organization. Acts upstream of or within actin cytoskeleton organization and neural tube closure. Located in several cellular components, including growth cone; ruffle; and terminal web. Colocalizes with actin filament. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; chordamesoderm; embryo mesenchyme; gut; and nose. Orthologous to human COBL (cordon-bleu WH2 repeat protein).
