Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables several functions, including LIM domain binding activity; nuclear receptor coactivator activity; and transmembrane transporter binding activity. Involved in cardiac muscle cell development; positive regulation of endocytic recycling; and protein localization to plasma membrane. Located in Z disc. Is expressed in several structures, including corpus striatum; face; heart; musculature; and trunk somite. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy; congenital myopathy 8; and dilated cardiomyopathy 1AA. Orthologous to human ACTN2 (actinin alpha 2).
