Predicted to enable actin monomer binding activity and calcium ion binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of muscle. Involved in heart contraction; heart development; and positive regulation of the force of heart contraction. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including cardiac muscle contraction; heart development; and muscle cell fate specification. Located in myofibril. Is expressed in several structures, including aorta; embryo mesoderm; eye; heart; and triceps surae muscle.
