QUA

The protein is required for the formation of cytoplasmic actin filament bundles in nurse cells, possibly by regulating both the polymerization and organization of actin filaments. Mutations in quail result in female sterility due to the disruption of cytoplasmic transport from the nurse cells into the oocyte late in oogenesis.
