About Espn

Summary

Enables SH3 domain binding activity and actin filament binding activity. Predicted to be involved in microvillar actin bundle assembly and negative regulation of Cytoskeleton organization. Predicted to act upstream of or within locomotory behavior; parallel actin filament bundle assembly; and positive regulation of filopodium assembly. Located in several cellular components, including actin cytoskeleton; brush border; and microvillus. Part of filamentous actin. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive nonsyndromic deafness 36. Orthologous to human ESPN (espin). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
