| localized at the tight junction (Sharma 2006) |
|
localizes to sites of cell–cell contact, the leading edge of lamellipodia and focal adhesions (Brooks 2010) |
basic FUNCTION
| key functions in the regulation of eye, tooth, brain and craniofacial development |
|
regulator of actin remodelling and cell morphology, that orchestrates actin regulatory protein function in response to signalling events during development (Brooks 2010) |
|
essential for maintaining cell morphology through the regulation of actin cytoskeletal dynamics (Brooks 2010) |
|
also controls lamellipod protrusions in motile cells (Brooks 2010) |
|
regulatory role of NHS in actin remodeling, is cell type dependent |
|
encode for a functional WAVE homology domain and to be a part of WAVE heteropentameric complex that is critical for actin remodeling and cell morphology control, and subsequently, for cell motility, migration, and cell contact |
