ABLIM3 - Actin Binding LIM Protein Family Member 3

This gene encodes a member of the actin-binding LIM (abLIM) family of proteins. These proteins are characterized by an N-terminal LIM domain and a C-terminal dematin-like domain. The encoded protein interacts with actin filaments and may be a component of adherens junctions in several cell types. A variant of this gene may be associated with pain sensitivity in male human patients. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2016]
