Caenorhabditis elegans Predicted to enable actin filament binding activity. Involved in several processes, including dendrite development; embryonic body morphogenesis; and muscle cell cellular homeostasis. Located in cell junction; contractile fiber; and lateral plasma membrane. Expressed in hermaphrodite gonad and vulval cell. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autosomal recessive spinocerebellar ataxia 14; hereditary spherocytosis type 2; and spinocerebellar ataxia type 5. Is an ortholog of human SPTB (spectrin beta, erythrocytic).
