gene: act-3 [Browse genome (BioProject PRJNA13758)] [Search on AGR]
Caenorhabditis elegans Expressed in gonad and head. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Baraitser-Winter syndrome 1; Baraitser-Winter syndrome 2; and autosomal dominant nonsyndromic deafness 20. Is an ortholog of human ACTB (actin beta). Human ACTB contributes to nucleosomal DNA binding activity. Human ACTB enables several functions, including ATP hydrolysis activity; Tat protein binding activity; and enzyme binding activity. Human ACTB is a structural constituent of postsynaptic actin cytoskeleton.
