    Summary
    Predicted to enable actin binding activity. Involved in branch fusion, open tracheal system. Is expressed in embryonic anal pad; presumptive embryonic/larval central nervous system; spermatozoon; tracheal branch primordium; and tracheocyte. Used to study Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease dominant intermediate E. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease dominant intermediate E and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 5. Orthologous to several human genes including INF2 (inverted formin 2). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Oct 2024]
