act-4 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Predicted to be involved in actin cytoskeleton organization and mitotic cytokinesis. Located in striated muscle thin filament. Expressed in body wall musculature; gonad; spermatheca; and vulval muscle. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Baraitser-Winter syndrome 1; Baraitser-Winter syndrome 2; and autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 20.
