Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables actin binding activity. Involved in nervous system development; regulation of neuron migration; and stress fiber assembly. Located in cytosol and nucleus. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system and neural retina. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in artery disease (multiple) and brain disease (multiple). Orthologous to human PHACTR1 (phosphatase and actin regulator 1).
