Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable actin binding activity and integrin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including regulation of cellular localization; regulation of gliogenesis; and regulation of hippo signaling. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including adherens junction; apical part of cell; and filopodium. Expressed in excretory gland cell; gonadal sheath cell; intestinal cell; pharyngeal muscle cell; and rectal gland cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including acoustic neuroma; gastrointestinal system cancer (multiple); and respiratory system cancer (multiple). Is an ortholog of human NF2 (NF2, moesin-ezrin-radixin like (MERLIN) tumor suppressor).
