Summary: Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including modification of postsynaptic actin cytoskeleton; negative regulation of Arp2/3 complex-mediated actin nucleation; and nervous system development. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including adherens junction; basolateral plasma membrane; and postsynaptic density. Predicted to be active in several cellular components, including hippocampal mossy fiber to CA3 synapse; parallel fiber to Purkinje cell synapse; and postsynaptic density, intracellular component. Predicted to be extrinsic component of postsynaptic membrane and extrinsic component of presynaptic membrane. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in complex cortical dysplasia with other brain malformations. Orthologous to human CTNNA2 (catenin alpha 2).

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.
