Avil - advillin

Predicted to enable Arp2/3 complex binding activity; actin filament binding activity; and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate binding activity. Involved in positive regulation of neuron projection development. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including actin filament; focal adhesion; and lamellipodium. Predicted to be active in actin cytoskeleton and cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including eye; forelimb; nervous system; skin; and tongue papillae. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in nephrotic syndrome type 21. Orthologous to human AVIL (advillin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
