acor

During embryonic development in Xenopus laevis, the cortex rotates relative to the underlying cytoplasm. This rotation is believed to be important for proper cell division and tissue formation. ACOR protein helps to facilitate this rotation by binding to actin filaments and promoting their movement.

ACOR protein is involved in the rotation of the cortex during embryonic development in Xenopus laevis. It binds to actin filaments and facilitates their movement, which causes the cortex to rotate.

There is no current evidence to suggest that mutations in the ACOR gene are associated with human diseases.

ACOR protein is composed of multiple domains, including an N-terminal actin-binding domain, a central coiled-coil domain, and a C-terminal domain that is thought to interact with other proteins involved in cortical rotation. The protein forms dimers, which are thought to be important for its function.

ACOR protein has been identified in Xenopus laevis, a type of African clawed frog that is commonly used in developmental biology research.
