| Function | Plays a role in membrane reorganization in response to nucleotide hydrolysis. Binds to liposomes and deforms them into tubules. Plays a role in membrane trafficking between the plasma membrane and endosomes. Important for the internalization of GLUT4. Required for normal fusion of myoblasts to skeletal muscle myotubes. Required for translocation of FER1L5 to the plasma membrane. Binds ATP; does not bind GTP (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |
| Subcellular Location | Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17233914}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17233914}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17233914}. Endosome membrane {ECO:0000250}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Note=Colocalizes with GLUT4 in intracellular tubulovesicular structures that are associated with cortical F-actin. Colocalizes with FER1L5 at plasma membrane in myoblasts and myotubes (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}. |
| Tissue Specificity | Highly expressed in heart and moderately expressed in placenta, lung, and skeletal muscle. |
