[Summary is not available for the mouse gene. This summary is for the human ortholog.] This gene encodes a member of the APX/Shroom family, which contain an N-terminal PDZ domain and a C-terminal ASD2 motif. The encoded protein may play a role in cytoskeletal architecture. Mutations in this gene have been linked to Stocco dos Santos X-linked mental retardation syndrome. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Mar 2009]Summary text based on GO annotations supported by experimental evidence in mouse
