| Function |
Acts as a nucleation-promoting factor (NPF) at the surface of endosomes, where it recruits and activates the Arp2/3 complex to induce actin polymerization, playing a key role in the fission of tubules that serve as transport intermediates during endosome sorting (PubMed:19922874, PubMed:19922875, PubMed:20498093, PubMed:23452853). Its assembly in the WASH core complex seems to inhibit its NPF activity and via FAM21 is required for its membrane targeting (PubMed:20498093). Involved in endocytic trafficking of EGF (By similarity). Involved in transferrin receptor recycling. Regulates the trafficking of endosomal alpha5beta1 integrin to the plasma membrane and involved in invasive cell migration (PubMed:22114305). In T cells involved in endosome-to-membrane recycling of receptors including T-cell receptor (TCR), CD28 and ITGAL; proposed to be implicated in T cell proliferation and effector function. In dendritic cells involved in endosome-to-membrane recycling of major histocompatibility

Early endosome membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:19922874}. Recycling endosome membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8VDD8}. Late endosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22114305, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24344185}. Cytoplasmic vesicle, autophagosome {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8VDD8}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome, centriole {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8VDD8}. Note=Localization to the endosome membrane is mediated via its interaction with FAM21 (PubMed:19922874). Localizes to MMP14- positive late endosomes and transiently to invadipodia (PubMed:24344185). Localized to Salmonella typhimurium entry sites (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8VDD8, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19922874, ECO:0000269|PubMed:24344185}.
