這種基因編碼的蛋白質是由環境壓力和發育變化引起的。編碼蛋白參與應激抵抗和肌動蛋白組織，并在應激誘導下從細胞質轉運到細胞核。該基因的缺陷是導致2型Charcot-Marie牙病（CMT2F）和遠端遺傳性運動神經病（DHMN）的原因。
The protein encoded by this gene is induced by environmental stress and developmental changes. The encoded protein is involved in stress resistance and actin organization and translocates from the cytoplasm to the nucleus upon stress induction. Defects in this gene are a cause of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 2F (CMT2F) and distal hereditary motor neuropathy (dHMN).
