SUBCELLULAR LOCALIZATION

intracellular

basic FUNCTION	modulate the actin cytoskeleton, being Cdc42-specific exchange factors (Huber 2008)
	likely couple the actin cytoskeleton with the plasma membrane (Nakanishi 2008)
	with FGD1 play different roles to regulate cellular functions but their intracellular levels are tightly controlled by the same destruction pathway through SCF(FWD1/beta-TrCP) (Hayakawa 2008)
