Function | Functions as ATP-binding component of the Arp2/3 complex which is involved in regulation of actin polymerization and together with an activating nucleation-promoting factor (NPF) mediates the formation of branched actin networks. Seems to contact the pointed end of the daughter actin filament. Plays a role in ciliogenesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20393563, ECO:0000269|PubMed:9000076}. |
Subcellular Location | Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cell projection. Note=In pre-apoptotic cells, colocalizes with MEFV in large specks (pyroptosomes). |
