    Summary
    Enables ubiquitin protein ligase binding activity. A structural constituent of postsynaptic actin cytoskeleton. Involved in regulation of apoptotic process and response to hypoxia. Located in neuron projection and stress fiber. Part of protein-containing complex. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynaptic actin cytoskeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 1. Orthologous to human ACTN4 (actinin alpha 4).

    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.
