Summary
Enables protein N-terminus binding activity. Involved in regulation of apoptotic process and response to hypoxia. Located in cytoplasm; neuron projection; and nucleus. Part of protein-containing complex. Colocalizes with stress fiber. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 1. Orthologous to human ACTN4 (actinin alpha 4). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]

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.
