| Function |
Probably involved in the organization of the actin cytoskeleton. May act downstream of CDC42 to induce actin filament assembly leading to cell shape changes. Induces pseudopodia formation in fibroblasts in a CDC42-dependent manner. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10490598, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11035016}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Endomembrane system {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11035016}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11035016}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11035016}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Highly expressed in the heart. Weakly expressed in the pancreas and liver. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10490598}.
