What is the function of this protein?
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 (PubMed:26466680).  Plays a role in cell protrusion formations; involved in cell polarity, lamellipodial assembly, membrane ruffling and macropinosome formations (PubMed:19846667, PubMed:26578515, PubMed:26466680).  Involved as well in cell migration and invadopodia formation during wound healing (PubMed:19846667, PubMed:26578515, PubMed:26466680).  Required for CD28-mediated stimulation of NF-kappa-B signaling, involved in naive T cells activation, maturation into T memory cells, and differentiation into T helper and T regulatory cells (PubMed:27647349, PubMed:27647348, PubMed:28112205).
What are the official names of this protein?
Capping protein, Arp2/3 and myosin-I linker protein 2, Capping protein regulator and myosin 1 linker 2, F-actin-uncapping protein RLTPR, Leucine-rich repeat-containing protein 16C, RGD, leucine-rich repeat, tropomodulin and proline-rich-containing protein.
What is the protein family that this protein belongs to?
Belongs to the CARMIL family.
What are the subcellular locations of this protein?
[Isoform 2]: Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cell membrane; Peripheral membrane protein; Cytoplasmic side. Cell projection, lamellipodium. Cell projection, ruffle. Note=Colocalizes to dynamic vimentin filaments both in the central cytoplasm and at leading edges of migrating cells (PubMed:26578515, PubMed:26466680, PubMed:19846667). Colocalizes with F-actin, Arp2/3 complex and cortactin to leading edge lamellipodia, ruffles and macropinosomes of migrating cells (PubMed:26578515).
