Gene Summary
- Human (7456): This gene encodes a protein that plays an important role in the organization of the actin cytoskeleton. The encoded protein binds to a region of Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein that is frequently mutated in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome, an X-linked recessive disorder. Impairment of the interaction between these two proteins may contribute to the disease. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein have been identified for this gene. [provided by RefSeq]
- Rat (117538): binds the rat Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein homolog; may mediate mobilization of actin from stress fibers to form new actin filaments [RGD]
