| Function |
Promotes cell motility and migration, probably via its interaction with the cell membrane and with podosome proteins that mediate interaction with the cytoskeleton. Modulates membrane curvature and mediates membrane tubulation. Plays a role in podosome formation. Inhibits phagocytosis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:23285027}.
|
| Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm. Cell projection, podosome membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cytoplasm, cell cortex. Cell projection, phagocytic cup. Note=Associates with membranes enriched in phosphoinositides. Detected in the actin-rich cell cortex at the leading edge of migrating cells. Detected at podosomes, at an actin-rich ring-like structure.
|
| Tissue Specificity |
Detected in natural killer cells (at protein level). Highest level expression seen in spleen and peripheral blood leukocytes and is also expressed at high levels in thymus, colon and placenta, suggesting preferential expression in hematopoietic tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10903846, ECO:0000269|PubMed:23285027}.
