Function
Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility and are ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells. May play a role in the repair of noise-induced stereocilia gaps thereby maintains hearing sensitivity following loud noise damage (By similarity).
