- Description
- Predicted to enable ATP binding activity and hydrolase activity. Acts upstream of or within heart contraction. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including cell body; filopodium; and lamellipodium. Predicted to be active in actin cytoskeleton. 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 and thoracic aortic aneurysm. Orthologous to human ACTA2 (actin alpha 2, smooth muscle).
