Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity and structural molecule activity. Involved in epidermis morphogenesis. Located in apical plasma membrane; basal plasma membrane; and hemidesmosome. Expressed in several structures, including gonad; intestinal lumen; nerve ring; pharynx; and vulval cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in epidermolysis bullosa simplex; hereditary sensory and autonomic neuropathy type 6; and lissencephaly 9 with complex brainstem malformation. Is an ortholog of human DST (dystonin).
