|
Function |
Part of the WAVE complex that regulates lamellipodia formation. The WAVE complex regulates actin filament reorganization via its interaction with the Arp2/3 complex. Actin remodeling activity is regulated by RAC1.
|
Subcellular Location |
Cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000250}. Cell projection, lamellipodium membrane {ECO:0000250}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000250}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000250}. Note=At the interface between the lamellipodial actin meshwork and the membrane. {ECO:0000250}.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Expressed in all tissues examined except peripheral blood leukocytes, with highest expression in brain, heart, and skeletal muscle.
