Summary: Enables small GTPase binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cell-cell junction assembly; platelet aggregation; and protein localization to cell surface. Predicted to act upstream of or within axon extension; lamellipodium assembly; and regulation of cell migration. Located in several cellular components, including Z disc; actin cytoskeleton; and focal adhesion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy; dilated cardiomyopathy 1W; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 15. Orthologous to human VCL (vinculin).

What's a GeneRIF?

Integrin engagement during cell attachment activates Poldip2/Nox4 to oxidize actin, which modulates filamentous actin assembly and its interaction with vinculin.

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.
