NHS NHS actin remodeling regulator

Gene ID: 4810, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: CXN; SCML1; CTRCT40

Summary

This gene encodes a protein containing four conserved nuclear localization signals. The encoded protein functions in eye, tooth, craniofacial and brain development, and it can regulate actin remodeling and cell morphology. Mutations in this gene have been shown to cause Nance-Horan syndrome, and also X-linked cataract-40. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, May 2014]
