Summary: Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including negative regulation of macrophage migration; negative regulation of phagocytosis; and regulation of mononuclear cell proliferation. Predicted to be located in stress fiber. Predicted to be active in actin cytoskeleton. Is expressed in several structures, including 4-cell stage embryo; central nervous system; eye; forelimb; and lateral plate mesoderm. Orthologous to human CNN2 (calponin 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.
