| Tissue Specificity | Abundantly expressed in the testis, moderately in the spleen and lymph nodes and at low levels in the liver and thymus. Detected in macrophages. |
| Post Translational Modifications | Phosphorylated on serine residues. |
| Function | Actin-binding protein that enhances membrane ruffling and RAC activation. Enhances the actin-bundling activity of LCP1. Binds calcium. Plays a role in RAC signaling and in phagocytosis. May play a role in macrophage activation and function. Promotes the proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells and of T-lymphocytes. Enhances lymphocyte migration. Plays a role in vascular inflammation. |
