Plays an active role in the formation of cell surface protrusions downstream of activated PDGFB receptors. Plays an important role in actin-microspike formation through cooperation with WASL. May cooperate with WASP and WASL to induce mobilization and reorganization of the actin filament system.
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton . Localized to stress fibers and bundles of actin filaments.
Expressed mainly in brain, colon, lung and stomach (at protein level). Ubiquitously expressed, with high expression in brain, kidney, lung, and placenta.
