Summary
Predicted to enable Arp2/3 complex binding activity. Acts upstream of or within actin filament debranching and negative regulation of Arp2/3 complex-mediated actin nucleation. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; hemolymphoid system; liver; lung; and yolk sac. Orthologous to human GMFG (glia maturation factor gamma).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
