Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including lymphocyte homeostasis; porphyrin-containing compound biosynthetic process; and positive regulation of T cell proliferation. Located in cuticular plate; membrane; and spectrin-associated cytoskeleton. Part of spectrin. Is expressed in liver; liver left lobe; and liver right lobe. Used to study hereditary spherocytosis type 1; hereditary spherocytosis type 3; and sickle cell anemia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary spherocytosis and hereditary spherocytosis type 3. Orthologous to human SPTA1 (spectrin alpha, erythrocytic 1).
