| Function | Downstream effector molecule involved in the transmission of signals from tyrosine kinase receptors and small GTPases to the actin cytoskeleton. Promotes formation of actin filaments. Part of the WAVE complex that regulates lamellipodia formation. The WAVE complex regulates actin filament reorganization via its interaction with the Arp2/3 complex. |
| Subcellular Location | Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cell junction, synapse {ECO:0000250}. Note=Dot-like pattern in the cytoplasm. Concentrated in Rac-regulated membrane-ruffling areas. |
| Tissue Specificity | Highly expressed in brain. Lowly expressed in testis, ovary, colon, kidney, pancreas, thymus, small intestine and peripheral blood. |
| Top Pathways | Adherens junction, Fc gamma R-mediated phagocytosis, Bacterial invasion of epithelial cells, Salmonella infection, Choline metabolism in cancer |
