    Summary
    Enables SH3 domain binding activity. Involved in several processes, including embryonic development via the syncytial blastoderm; plasma membrane bounded cell projection organization; and regulation of plasma membrane bounded cell projection assembly. Located in several cellular components, including filopodium tip; lamellipodium; and subsynaptic reticulum. Colocalizes with adherens junction. Is expressed in several structures, including epithelial cell; epithelium; ganglia; neuron projection bundle of larval ventral nerve cord; and visceral mesoderm derivative. Orthologous to several human genes including ENAH (ENAH actin regulator). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
