Summary: Predicted to enable actin binding activity and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including actin filament organization; axonogenesis; and positive regulation of cellular component organization. Located in several cellular components, including axonal growth cone; presynaptic active zone; and sarcomere. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; extended germ band embryo; muscle system; presumptive embryonic/larval system; and spermatozoon. Orthologous to several human genes including DAAM1 (dishevelled associated activator of morphogenesis 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
