| Function |
Ena/VASP proteins are actin-associated proteins involved in a range of processes dependent on cytoskeleton remodeling and cell polarity such as axon guidance and lamellipodial and filopodial dynamics in migrating cells. ENAH induces the formation of F-actin rich outgrowths in fibroblasts. Acts synergistically with BAIAP2-alpha and downstream of NTN1 to promote filipodia formation (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

| Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250}. Cell projection, lamellipodium {ECO:0000250}. Cell projection, filopodium {ECO:0000250}. Cell junction, synapse {ECO:0000250}. Cell junction, focal adhesion. Note=Targeted to the leading edge of lamellipodia and filopodia by MRL family members. Colocalizes at filopodial tips with a number of other proteins including vinculin and zyxlin. Colocalizes with N-WASP at the leading edge. Colocalizes with GPHN and PFN at synapses (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

| Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in myoepithelia of parotid, breast, bronchial glands and sweat glands. Expressed in colon-rectum muscolaris mucosae epithelium, pancreas acinar ductal epithelium, endometrium epithelium, prostate fibromuscolar stroma and placenta vascular media. Overexpressed in a majority of breast cancer cell lines and primary breast tumor lesions. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15027125}.
