Function | Involved in plasma membrane dynamics and cell process formation. Isoform 1 and isoform 2 are necessary for axonal and dendritic filopodia induction, for dendritic spine maturation and synapse formation in a palmitoylation-dependent manner. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14978216}. |
Subcellular Location | Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14978216}; Lipid-anchor {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14978216}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14978216}. Cell projection, filopodium membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14978216}; Lipid-anchor {ECO:0000269|PubMed:14978216}. Cell projection, axon {ECO:0000250}. Cell projection, dendrite {ECO:0000250}. Cell projection, dendritic spine {ECO:0000250}. Basolateral cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Lipid-anchor {ECO:0000250}. Apicolateral cell membrane {ECO:0000250}; Lipid-anchor {ECO:0000250}. Note=Translocation to the plasma membrane is enhanced upon stimulation of neuronal activity. |
Tissue Specificity | Widely expressed with highest expression in brain and testis and intermediate expression in heart and adrenal gland. |
