Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity and microfilament motor activity. Acts upstream of or within actin-mediated cell contraction; plasma membrane repair; and response to muscle activity. Located in several cellular components, including A band; Golgi apparatus; and actomyosin contractile ring. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; forelimb bud mesenchyme; and skeletal musculature.
