    basic FUNCTION
  • involved in some step of early cleavage of the fertilized oocyte
  • might be involved in the regulation of filamentous actin and signals from the outside of the cells
  • might be a cytoskeleton-associated protein involving the structural integrity and/or signal transductions in cancers
  • might be involved in the regulation of F-actin
  • may influence the cellular events related to attachment, migration, proliferation, and apoptosis
  • may be a cytoskeleton-associated protein involving the structural integrity and/or signal transductions in cancers
  • involved in the regulation of whole-body energy homeostasis and pancreatic exocrine system
  • CELLULAR PROCESS
    PHYSIOLOGICAL PROCESS
    PATHWAY
    metabolism
    signaling
    a component constituent of cytoskeleton-associated proteins anchoring integral and/or signal proteins
    INTERACTION
    DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • SSFA2 is associated with inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate receptor (ITPR3) and is critical for the proper subcellular localization of ITPR3 in the liver and the pancreas
