== Function Summary ==
* **Entrez Summary**: N/A
* **UniProt Summary**: Regulates actin polymerization by stimulating the actin- nucleating activity of the Arp2/3 complex. Involved in mitosis and cytokinesis, via its role in the regulation of actin polymerization. Binds to HSF1/HSTF1 and forms a complex on heat shock promoter elements (HSE) that negatively regulates HSP90 expression. Plays a role in dendrite spine morphogenesis (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q91YD9, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19366662, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19487689, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22847007, ECO:0000269|PubMed:22921828}.
