Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity; cytoskeletal motor inhibitor activity; and profilin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of dendritic spine morphogenesis; positive regulation of receptor localization to synapse; and positive regulation of synaptic plasticity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cell communication by chemical coupling; cell communication by electrical coupling; and maintenance of protein location in cell. Located in several cellular components, including actin cytoskeleton; gap junction; and growth cone. Is active in several cellular components, including postsynaptic cytosol; postsynaptic density; and postsynaptic membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; eye; genitourinary system; and immune system. Orthologous to human DBN1 (drebrin 1).
