| Function |
Actin filament (F-actin)-binding protein involved in cell-matrix adhesion and cell-cell adhesion. Regulates cell- surface E-cadherin expression and potentiates mechanosensing by the E-cadherin complex. May also play important roles in cell morphology and locomotion. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20484056}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18439753}. Cell junction, adherens junction {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18439753}. Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18439753}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18439753}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18439753}. Cell junction, focal adhesion {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18439753}. Note=Cytoplasmic face of adhesion plaques. Recruitment to cell-cell junctions occurs in a myosin II- dependent manner. Interaction with CTNNB1 is necessary for its localization to the cell-cell junctions (By similarity). Colocalizes with LIMD1 in the focal adhesions. {ECO:0000250}.
