| Function |
Binds to F-actin and exhibits pH-sensitive F-actin depolymerizing activity. Regulates actin cytoskeleton dynamics. Important for normal progress through mitosis and normal cytokinesis. Plays a role in the regulation of cell morphology and cytoskeletal organization. Required for the up-regulation of atypical chemokine receptor ACKR2 from endosomal compartment to cell membrane, increasing its efficiency in chemokine uptake and degradation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15580268, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21834987, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23633677}.

| Subcellular Location |
Nucleus matrix {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15580268}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15580268}. Cell projection, ruffle membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15580268}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15580268}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15580268}. Cell projection, lamellipodium membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15580268}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15580268}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15580268}. Note=Colocalizes with the actin cytoskeleton in membrane ruffles and lamellipodia. Detected at the cleavage furrow and contractile ring during cytokinesis. Almost completely in nucleus in cells exposed to heat shock or 10% dimethyl sulfoxide.
