Fascins crosslink actin into filamentous bundles within dynamic cell extensions. This family member is proposed to play a role in photoreceptor disk morphogenesis. A mutation in this gene results in one form of autosomal dominant retinitis pigmentosa and macular degeneration. Multiple transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]. * **UniProt Summary**: Acts as an actin bundling protein. May play a pivotal role in photoreceptor cell-specific events, such as disk morphogenesis. |Fascin| |stereocilium| |eye photoreceptor cell development| |eye photoreceptor cell differentiation| |photoreceptor cell development| |photoreceptor cell differentiation| |actin filament bundle assembly| |actin filament bundle organization| |protein binding, bridging| |eye morphogenesis| |establishment or maintenance of cell polarity| |actin filament binding| |actin cytoskeleton| |visual perception| |sensory perception of light stimulus| |actin filament organization| |sensory organ morphogenesis| |actin binding| |eye development| |visual system development| |sensory system development| |supramolecular fiber organization| |actin cytoskeleton organization| |sensory organ development| |actin filament-based process| |neuron development| |animal organ morphogenesis| |cell migration| |sensory perception| |neuron differentiation| |localization of cell| |cell motility| |cytoskeleton organization| |locomotion| |nervous system process| |generation of neurons| |movement of cell or subcellular component| |neurogenesis| |cell development| |system process| \\ === CRISPR Data === ^Screen^Score^ |[[:results:exp529|Thimerosal 0.85μM R08 exp529]]|-2.05| No correlation found to any other genes in chemogenomics.
