Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable actin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cytoskeleton organization; cytoskeleton-dependent cytokinesis; and positive regulation of mitochondrial fission. Acts upstream of or within Golgi vesicle transport; behavioral fear response; and dendritic spine development. Located in several cellular components, including Golgi apparatus; cytoplasmic vesicle membrane; and mitochondrial outer membrane. Colocalizes with cleavage furrow. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; intestine; liver; and spleen. Orthologous to human SPIRE1 (spire type actin nucleation factor 1).
