- Description
- Involved in heart contraction. Predicted to localize to several cellular components, including dynactin complex; filopodium; and lamellipodium. Is expressed in several structures, including cardiovascular system; gut; mesoderm; musculature system; and swim bladder. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Moyamoya disease; megacystis-microcolon-intestinal hypoperistalsis syndrome; and thoracic aortic aneurysm. Orthologous to several human genes including ACTA2 (actin alpha 2, smooth muscle).
