Function Summary
  • Entrez Summary: N/A
  • UniProt Summary: Essential hematopoietic-specific regulator of the actin cytoskeleton (Probable). Controls lymphocyte development, activation, proliferation and homeostasis, erythrocyte membrane stability, as well as phagocytosis and migration by neutrophils and macrophages (PubMed:16417406, PubMed:17696648). Component of the WAVE2 complex which signals downstream of RAC to stimulate F- actin polymerization. Required for stabilization and/or translation of the WAVE2 complex proteins in hematopoietic cells (By similarity). Exhibits complex cycles of activation and inhibition to generate waves of propagating the assembly with actin (PubMed:16417406). Also involved in mechanisms WAVE- independent to regulate myosin and actin polymerization during neutrophil chemotaxis (PubMed:17696648). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8K1X4, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16417406, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17696648, ECO:0000303|PubMed:20969869}.
