Function | Plays a crucial role in regulating the dynamics and assembly of the actin cytoskeleton. Recruited to the cell cortex by interaction with ILK which allows it to cooperate with its effector DIAPH1 to locally stabilize microtubules and allow stable insertion of caveolae into the plasma membrane (By similarity). Binds to activated CDC42 but does not stimulate its GTPase activity. Associates with calmodulin. May promote neurite outgrowth (PubMed:15695813). May play a possible role in cell cycle regulation by contributing to cell cycle progression after DNA replication arrest (PubMed:20883816). |
Cellular Location | Cell membrane. Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cell cortex {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9JKF1}. Apical cell membrane. Basolateral cell membrane {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q9JKF1}. Note=Subcellular distribution is regulated by the cell cycle, nuclear levels increase at G1/S phase (PubMed:20883816). |
Tissue Location | Expressed in the placenta, lung, and kidney (PubMed:8051149). A lower level expression is seen in the heart, liver, skeletal muscle and pancreas (PubMed:8051149) |

Background
Binds to activated CDC42 but does not stimulate its GTPase activity. It associates with calmodulin. Could serve as an assembly scaffold for the organization of a multimolecular complex that would interface incoming signals to the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton at the plasma membrane. May promote neurite outgrowth.
