Entrez Summary: This gene encodes a member of the EPS8 gene family. The encoded protein, like other members of the family, is thought to link growth factor stimulation to actin organization, generating functional redundancy in the pathways that regulate actin cytoskeletal remodeling. [provided by RefSeq, Dec 2008].
UniProt Summary: Stimulates guanine exchange activity of SOS1. May play a role in membrane ruffling and remodeling of the actin cytoskeleton. In the cochlea, is required for stereocilia maintenance in adult hair cells (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q99K30, ECO:0000269|PubMed:14565974}.
