Summary: Predicted to enable SH3 domain binding activity and actin filament binding activity. Involved in negative regulation of cytoskeleton organization. Acts upstream of or within locomotory behavior; parallel actin filament bundle assembly; and positive regulation of filopodium assembly. Located in actin cytoskeleton; brush border; and stereocilium. Is active in stereocilium tip. Is expressed in organ of Corti; ovary; seminiferous tubule; seminiferous tubule epithelium; and testis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 36. Orthologous to human ESPN (espin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
Expression: Biased expression in duodenum adult (RPKM 67.5), small intestine adult (RPKM 49.0) and 9 other tissues See more

We demonstrated for the first time that espin regulates both anchorage-dependent growth and anchorage-independent growth in melanoma cells through G1 arrest and modulates the expression and/or activity of p21Cip1, p27Kip1, Erk, and Akt.
Title: An actin-binding protein espin is a growth regulator for melanoma.
When myosin IIIB (MYO3B) is coexpressed with espin-1 (ESPN1), MYO3B targets and carries ESPN1 to COS7 cell filopodia tips. This tip localization is lost when the ESPN1 C terminus actin-binding site is removed.
Title: Myosin IIIB uses an actin-binding motif in its espin-1 cargo to reach the tips of actin protrusions.

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.
