Also known as: CG4276; Dmel\CG4276; EPS8L3
Summary: Predicted to enable actin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including memory; olfactory behavior; and response to ethanol. Located in synapse. Is expressed in adult abdomen; adult brain; adult head; adult thorax; and organism. Used to study alcohol use disorder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 102 and autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 106. Orthologous to several human genes including EPS8L1 (EPS8 signaling adaptor L1) and EPS8L2 (EPS8 signaling adaptor L2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
