General annotation (Comments)

Function

Regulates actin polymerization by stimulating the actin-nucleating activity of the Arp2/3 complex. Binds to TNK2 By similarity. Binds to HSF1/HSTF1 and forms a complex on heat shock promoter elements (HSE) that negatively regulates HSP90 expression. Ref.2

Subunit structure

Interacts with NOSTRIN and SNX9 By similarity. Binds actin and the Arp2/3 complex. Interacts with CDC42. Binds to SH3 domains of GRB2. Interacts with the C-terminal SH3 domain of DNMBP. Interacts with the WW domains of PRPF40A/FBP11. Interacts with PTK2/FAK1. Ref.3 Ref.4 Ref.5

Subcellular location

Cytoplasmcytoskeleton. Nucleus. Note: Preferentially localized in the cytoplasm when phosphorylated and in the nucleus when unphosphorylated. Ref.2 Ref.5

Sequence similarities

Contains 1 CRIB domain.

Contains 1 WH1 domain.

Contains 2 WH2 domains.
