== Function Summary ==
* **Entrez Summary**: This gene represents a member of the formin family of proteins. It is considered a diaphanous formin due to the presence of a diaphanous inhibitory domain located at the N-terminus of the encoded protein. Studies of a similar mouse protein indicate that the protein encoded by this locus may function in polymerization and depolymerization of actin filaments. Mutations at this locus have been associated with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis 5.[provided by RefSeq, Aug 2010].
* **UniProt Summary**: Severs actin filaments and accelerates their polymerization and depolymerization. {ECO:0000250}.
