Summary
Predicted to enable chromatin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including generation of neurons; positive regulation of Rac protein signal transduction; and positive regulation of lamellipodium assembly. Acts upstream of or within innate vocalization behavior and righting reflex. Located in growth cone and nucleus. Colocalizes with actin cytoskeleton. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Used to study autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder and autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 26. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal dominant intellectual developmental disorder 26. Orthologous to human AUTS2 (activator of transcription and developmental regulator AUTS2).

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.
