Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Organizes filamentous actin into bundles with a minimum of 4.1:1 actin/fascin ratio. Plays a role in the organization of actin filament bundles and the formation of microspikes, membrane ruffles, and stress fibers. Important for the formation of a diverse set of cell protrusions, such as filopodia, and for cell motility and migration (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250}. Cell projection, filopodium {ECO:0000250}. Cell projection, invadopodium {ECO:0000250}. Cytoplasm, cytosol {ECO:0000250}. Note=In glioma cells, partially colocalizes with F-actin stress fibers in the cytosol. {ECO:0000250}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Most abundant in brain. Found in other tissues including uterus, small intestine and spleen.
