Protein attributes

Sequence length	381 AA.
Sequence status	Complete.
Sequence processing	The displayed sequence is not processed.
Protein existence	Evidence at transcript level.

General annotation (Comments)

Function	Acts as an activator of serum response factor (SRF)-dependent transcription possibly by inducing nuclear translocation of MKL1 or MKL2 and through a mechanism requiring Rho-actin signaling By similarity. UniProtKB Q8BUZ1
Subunit structure	Binds F-actin and ABLIM1, ABLIM2 AND ABLIM3. Interaction with ABLIM2 AND ABLIM3 enhances activity By similarity.
Subcellular location	Cytoplasm › myofibril › sarcomere By similarity. Cytoplasm › cytoskeleton By similarity. Note: Localized to the I-band of the sarcomere and to a lesser extent to the sarcomeric structure between Z-lines By similarity.
