Enables actin filament binding activity. Involved in several processes, including anatomical structure morphogenesis; barbed-end actin filament capping; and supramolecular fiber organization. Located in apical part of cell; brush border; and hemidesmosome. Expressed in several structures, including P3.pa; P3.pp; P5.ppp; P7.paa; and P9.p. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 102; autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 106; and hypotrichosis 5. Is an ortholog of human EPS8L1 (EPS8 signaling adaptor L1).
This is a predicted enhancer region. These are intergenic TF-binding sites >500 bp from a gene start which overlap a TSS cluster, excluding regions that appear to be unannotated promoters based on having a signature of high H3K4me3/low H3K4me1. Nearest downstream gene=Y57G11C.24. Surounding gene organisation=tandem
