| Function | Filament-forming cytoskeletal GTPase (By similarity). May play a role in cytokinesis (Potential). May play a role in platelet secretion. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15116257, ECO:0000305}. |
| Subcellular Location | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250}. Note=In platelets, found in areas surrounding alpha-granules. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15116257}. |
| Tissue Specificity | Widely expressed, including in brain, heart and platelets; most abundant in aorta. Isoform 2 is expressed at low levels in specific brain areas, such as occipital pole, frontal lobe, temporal lobe and putamen. Isoform 1 and 3 are highly expressed in specific brain areas, such as occipital pole, frontal lobe, temporal lobe and putamen. Isoform 2 is highly expressed in prostate, testis and ovary. Isoform 1 and isoform 3 are expressed at low levels in prostate, testis and ovary. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12023038, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12909369, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15116257, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15915442}. |
