Wasl - WASP like actin nucleation promoting factor

Predicted to enable cytoskeletal protein binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in dendritic spine morphogenesis. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including actin cytoskeleton organization; response to bacterium; and spindle localization. Located in actin cap and lamellipodium. Is expressed in brain; genitourinary system; liver; and spleen. Used to study atopic dermatitis. Orthologous to human WASL (WASP like actin nucleation promoting factor).
