    Summary
    Involved in ovarian fusome organization. Part of brahma complex. Is expressed in adult head; ganglia; gonad; gut section; and spermatozoon. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Baraitser-Winter syndrome 1; Baraitser-Winter syndrome 2; autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 20; and thrombocytopenia. Orthologous to human ACTB (actin beta) and ACTG1 (actin gamma 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]

    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. Data raise the possibility that the Drosophila embryo is divided into zones of different PTB and Notch activities based on whether or not they are linked to actin regulation.
      Title: Loss of PTB or negative regulation of Notch mRNA reveals distinct zones of Notch and actin protein accumulation in Drosophila embryo.
    2. findings show an interdependency between Hpo signaling activity and F-actin dynamics in which CP and Hpo pathway activities inhibit F-actin accumulation, and the reduction in F-actin in turn sustains Hpo pathway activity
