    Summary
    Predicted to enable SH3 domain binding activity; enzyme binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including Cdc42 protein signal transduction; positive regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process; and regulation of actin filament organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including actin filament polymerization; cellular response to type II interferon; and endosomal transport. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including actin filament; phagocytic vesicle; and site of double-strand break. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome; X-linked severe congenital neutropenia; and thrombocytopenia. Orthologous to human WAS (WASP actin nucleation promoting factor).

    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.
