Summary: Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity. Predicted to be involved in actin cytoskeleton organization and barbed-end actin filament capping. Located in brush border; cortical cytoskeleton; and membrane. Part of F-actin capping protein complex. Is expressed in nervous system; submandibular gland primordium; thymus primordium; and vibrissa. Orthologous to human CAPZA2 (capping actin protein of muscle Z-line subunit alpha 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

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.
