basic FUNCTION
  • involved in SMN mutations
  • actin binding proteins essential for regulating cytoskeletal dynamics
  • required for actin polymerization in the synapse, possibly through a pathway that involves the WAVE-complex
  • neuron specific, it provides an excellent target to regulate actin polymerization in the synapse and thereby modulate neurotransmitter homeostasis
    • CELLULAR PROCESS
