Description

WASP actin nucleation promoting factor

Gene Summary

Predicted to enable SH3 domain binding activity; enzyme binding activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including Cdc42 protein signal transduction; positive regulation of nucleobase-containing compound metabolic process; and regulation of actin filament organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including actin filament polymerization; cellular response to type II interferon; and endosomal transport. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including actin filament; phagocytic vesicle; and site of double-strand break. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome; X-linked severe congenital neutropenia; and thrombocytopenia. Orthologous to human WAS (WASP actin nucleation promoting factor).
