Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.3.0)
Enables protein homodimerization activity and protein-macromolecule adaptor activity. Involved in several processes, including actin filament organization; filopodium assembly; and regulation of cell shape. Acts upstream of or within dendrite development; regulation of synaptic plasticity; and wound healing. Located in neuron projection. Is active in Schaffer collateral - CA1 synapse and plasma membrane. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; central nervous system; eye; genitourinary system; and respiratory system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Gilles de la Tourette syndrome; attention deficit hyperactivity disorder; and autism spectrum disorder. Orthologous to human BAIAP2 (BAR/IMD domain containing adaptor protein 2).
