Ena/VASP proteins are actin-associated proteins involved in a range of processes dependent on cytoskeleton remodeling and cell polarity such as axon guidance and lamellipodial and filopodial dynamics in migrating cells. EVL enhances actin nucleation and polymerization.
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton . Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, stress fiber . Cell projection, lamellipodium . Targeted to the leading edge of lamellipodia and the distal tip of stress fibers through interaction with a number of proteins. In activated T-cells, localizes to the F-actin collar and the distal tip of microspikes. .
