Summary: Predicted to enable actin binding activity and small GTPase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including actin filament organization; axonogenesis; and positive regulation of cellular component organization. Located in several cellular components, including axonal growth cone; presynaptic active zone; and sarcomere. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; gut section; head epidermis primordium; mesoderm; and somatic muscle cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in familial nephrotic syndrome. Orthologous to several human genes including DAAM1 (dishevelled associated activator of morphogenesis 1).
