Function |
Probably involved in the organization of the actin cytoskeleton by acting downstream of CDC42, inducing actin filament assembly. Alters CDC42-induced cell shape changes. In activated T-cells, may play a role in CDC42-mediated F-actin accumulation at the immunological synapse. May play a role in early contractile events in phagocytosis in macrophages. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10816584, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15840583, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17045588}.

Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cell membrane; Lipid-anchor. Note=Recruited to the activated TCR prior actin polymerization.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Widely expressed. Expressed at higher level in T-lymphocytes, dendritic and whole blood cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15840583}.
