Summary: Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including lymphocyte homeostasis; positive regulation of T cell proliferation; and regulation of cell shape. Located in cuticular plate; membrane; and spectrin-associated cytoskeleton. Part of spectrin. Is expressed in liver; liver left lobe; and liver right lobe. Used to study hereditary spherocytosis type 1; hereditary spherocytosis type 3; and sickle cell anemia.

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.
