Description
Predicted to have actin filament binding activity and structural molecule activity. Involved in heart contraction; membrane repolarization during cardiac muscle cell action potential; and sarcomere organization. Localizes to adherens junction and focal adhesion. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dilated cardiomyopathy; dilated cardiomyopathy 1W; hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy 15. Is expressed in several structures, including heart; lens; pectoral fin; solid lens vesicle; and somite. Orthologous to human VCL (vinculin).
