What pLDDT means and how to read it

Function

Cell membrane-cytoskeleton-associated protein that plays a role in the regulation of actin polymerization at the barbed end of actin filaments. Prevents F-actin heterodimeric capping protein (CP) activity at the leading edges of migrating cells, and hence generates uncapped barbed ends and enhances actin polymerization, however, seems unable to nucleate filaments (PubMed:16054028). Plays a role in lamellipodial protrusion formations and cell migration (PubMed:16054028)

Subunit structure

Homodimer (By similarity). Interacts (via C-terminus) with heterodimeric capping protein (CP); this interaction uncaps barbed ends capped by CP, enhances barbed-end actin polymerization and promotes lamellipodial formation and cell migration (PubMed:16054028). Interacts with MYO1E (By similarity). Interacts with TRIO (By similarity)

Subcellular location
