Function | Calcium-sensitive protein which reversibly blocks the barbed ends of actin filaments but does not sever preformed actin filaments. May play an important role in macrophage function. May play a role in regulating cytoplasmic and/or nuclear structures through potential interactions with actin. May bind DNA. |
Subcellular Location | Cytoplasm {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17081065}. Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17081065}. Melanosome {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17081065}. Note=Identified by mass spectrometry in melanosome fractions from stage I to stage IV. |
Tissue Specificity | Macrophages and macrophage-like cells. |
