NCBI Summary
Member of actin subclass composed of ACT12 and ACT4. RNA is expressed at very low levels in vegetative organs, low levels in flowers and very high levels in pollen. Expression of an ACT12/GUS fusion was found in vascular tissues, tapetum, developing and mature pollen, the root cap and in a ring of pericycle tissues during lateral root initiation and early development.

UniProt Comments
Actins are highly conserved proteins that are involved in various types of cell motility and are ubiquitously expressed in all eukaryotic cells. Essential component of cell cytoskeleton; plays an important role in cytoplasmic streaming, cell shape determination, cell division, organelle movement and extension growth. This is considered as one of the reproductive actins.
