UniProt code: O94851.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Nuclear monooxygenase that promotes depolymerization of F- actin by mediating oxidation of specific methionine residues on actin to form methionine-sulfoxide, resulting in actin filament disassembly and preventing repolymerization (PubMed:24440334). In the absence of actin, it also functions as a NADPH oxidase producing H(2)O(2) (By similarity). Acts as a key regulator of the SRF signaling pathway elicited by nerve growth factor and serum: mediates oxidation and subsequent depolymerization of nuclear actin, leading to increase MKL1/MRTF-A presence in the nucleus and promote SRF:MKL1/MRTF-A- dependent gene transcription. Does not activate SRF:MKL1/MRTF-A through RhoA (PubMed:24440334). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8TDZ2, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24440334}.
 
Catalytic activity: Reaction=H(+) + L-methionyl-[F-actin] + NADPH + O2 = H2O + L-methionyl- (R)-S-oxide-[F-actin] + NADP(+); Xref=Rhea:RHEA:51308, Rhea:RHEA- COMP:12953, Rhea:RHEA-COMP:12956, ChEBI:CHEBI:15377, ChEBI:CHEBI:15378, ChEBI:CHEBI:15379, ChEBI:CHEBI:16044, ChEBI:CHEBI:45764, ChEBI:CHEBI:57783, ChEBI:CHEBI:58349; EC=1.14.13.225; Evidence={ECO:0000269|PubMed:24440334};

Similarity: Belongs to the Mical family. {ECO:0000305}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=BAA34470.2; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Extended N-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
