Wasl

Enables cytoskeletal protein binding activity and identical protein binding activity. Involved in several processes, including plasma membrane tubulation; positive regulation of cellular component organization; and postsynaptic actin cytoskeleton organization. Located in Golgi membrane; cell leading edge; and cytoplasmic vesicle. Is active in glutamatergic synapse and postsynapse. Orthologous to human WASL (WASP like actin nucleation promoting factor).

A protein domain is a distinct structural or functional region within a protein that can evolve, function, and exist independently of the rest of the protein chain. These domains in rat Wasl often fold into stable, three-dimensional structures and are associated with specific biological functions, such as binding to DNA, other proteins, or small molecules.
