Function | Acts as a nucleation-promoting factor (NPF) that stimulates Arp2/3-mediated actin polymerization both at the Golgi apparatus and along tubular membranes. Its activity in membrane tubulation requires F-actin and interaction with microtubules. Proposed to use coordinated actin-nucleating and microtubule- binding activities of distinct WHAMM molecules to drive membrane tubule elongation; when MT-bound can recruit and remodel membrane vesicles but is prevented to activate the Arp2/3 complex. Involved as a regulator of Golgi positioning and morphology. Participates in vesicle transport between the reticulum endoplasmic and the Golgi complex. Required for RhoD-dependent actin reorganization such as in cell adhesion and cell migration. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18614018, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23027905, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23087206}. |
Subcellular Location | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18614018}. Endoplasmic reticulum-Golgi intermediate compartment {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18614018}. Cytoplasmic vesicle membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18614018}. Golgi apparatus, cis-Golgi network {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18614018}. Note=Localized to a perinuclear compartment near the microtubule-organizing center (MTOC). Also detected on tubulo-vesicular structures in the cell periphery that frequently localized along microtubules. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18614018}. |
Tissue Specificity | Expressed in brain, lung, heart, colon and kidney (at protein level). |
