| Function |
Actin-binding protein involved in motile and morphological processes. Inhibits actin polymerization, likely by sequestering G-actin. By capping the barbed ends of filaments, it also regulates motility. Seems to play an important role in clathrin-mediated endocytosis and distribution of endocytic organelles (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250}. Note=Diffuse cytoplasmic localization with perinuclear and G-actin-rich cortical actin structures sublocalization. Also found at membrane ruffles and cell-cell contacts (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed at high levels in the colon, testis, ovary, prostate and lung. Expressed at lower levels in the brain, bladder and heart. Not detected in liver. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:7507208}.
