Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables actin filament binding activity. Involved in actin filament fragmentation. Acts upstream of or within cell motility and positive regulation of actin filament depolymerization. Located in cortical actin cytoskeleton. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; immune system; nervous system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human DSTN (destrin, actin depolymerizing factor).
