Caenorhabditis elegans

Enables actin filament binding activity; actin monomer binding activity; and phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate binding activity. Involved in actin filament-based process and regulation of cellular component organization. Located in actin cytoskeleton and striated muscle dense body. Expressed in hypodermis. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in several diseases, including Finnish type amyloidosis; artery disease (multiple); and gas gangrene. Is an ortholog of human CAPG (capping actin protein, gelsolin like).
