Protein Structure

UniProt Annotation

Function

Functions as actin-binding component of the Arp2/3 complex which is involved in regulation of actin polymerization and together with an activating nucleation-promoting factor (NPF) mediates the formation of branched actin networks. Seems to contact the mother actin filament (By similarity). {ECO:0000250}.

Subcellular Localization

Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250}. Cell projection {ECO:0000250}. Cell junction, synapse, synaptosome {ECO:0000269PubMed:24153177}.

Disease Associations

Tissue Specificity

Expressed in hippocampal neurons (at protein level). {ECO:0000269PubMed:24153177}.
