General annotation (Comments)

Function

Downstream effector molecule involved in the transmission of signals from tyrosine kinase receptors and small GTPases to the actin cytoskeleton. Promotes formation of actin filaments. Part of the WAVE complex that regulates lamellipodia formation. The WAVE complex regulates actin filament reorganization via its interaction with the Arp2/3 complex By similarity.

Subunit structure

Binds actin and the Arp2/3 complex. Interacts with BAIAP2. Component of the WAVE2 complex composed of ABI1, CYFIP1/SRA1, NCKAP1/NAP1 and WASF2/WAVE2. Directly interacts with BRK1 By similarity.

Subcellular location

Cytoplasm › cytoskeleton By similarity.

Domain

Binds and activates the Arp2/3 complex via the C-terminal domain. Interacts with actin via the WH2 domain By similarity.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the SCAR/WAVE family.

Contains 1 WH2 domain.
