Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Probably involved in the organization of the actin cytoskeleton. May act downstream of CDC42 to induce actin filament assembly leading to cell shape changes. Induces pseudopodia formation in fibroblasts in a CDC42-dependent manner (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Endomembrane system {ECO:0000250}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250}.
