Summary: Enables alpha-actinin binding activity; protein domain specific binding activity; and spectrin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including myoblast fusion; skeletal muscle tissue development; and slit diaphragm assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including JNK cascade; cell adhesion; and positive regulation of actin filament polymerization. Located in basement membrane; plasma membrane; and slit diaphragm. Part of protein-containing complex. Biomarker of end stage renal disease; kidney failure; membranous glomerulonephritis; and nephrotic syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nephrotic syndrome type 1.

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.
