    Summary
    Enables actin filament binding activity. Involved in actin cytoskeleton organization and embryonic axis specification. Located in cytoplasm. Part of dynactin complex. Is expressed in hypodermis; pharynx; and tail. Orthologous to human CAPZB (capping actin protein of muscle Z-line subunit beta). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Dec 2024]
