Protein Structure
UniProt Annotation
Function Component of the WASH complex, a complex present at the surface of endosomes that recruits and activates the Arp2/3 complex to induce actin polymerization. The WASH complex plays a key role in the fission of tubules that serve as transport intermediates during endosome sorting. In the complex, it probably mediates the recruitment of the complex to endosome membranes. Plays a role in fluid-phase endocytosis, a process exploited by vaccinia intracellular mature virus (IMV) to enter cells. As a result, may facilitate the penetration of IMV into cells. {ECO:0000269PubMed:18550675, ECO:0000269PubMed:19922874}.
Subcellular Localization Early endosome membrane. Cell membrane. Note=Partially colocalizes with RAB11A, a recycling endosome marker. Associates with lipid raft microdomains on the plasma membrane.
