    Summary
    Predicted to enable Arp2/3 complex binding activity and protein kinase A regulatory subunit binding activity. Involved in modification of postsynaptic actin cytoskeleton. Acts upstream of or within lamellipodium assembly; oligodendrocyte development; and positive regulation of myelination. Located in lamellipodium and postsynapse. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in adrenal gland; cap mesenchyme; nervous system; and neural retina. Orthologous to human WASF3 (WASP family member 3). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
    Expression
    Broad expression in cerebellum adult (RPKM 17.1), frontal lobe adult (RPKM 16.1) and 15 other tissues See more

    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.
