Facts about Actin-associated protein FAM107A.
Also binds to, stabilizes and packages F-actin. Involved in synaptic function by regulating neurite outgrowth in an actin-dependent manner and for the acquisition of hippocampus-dependent cognitive function, such as learning and long-term memory (By similarity).

Widely expressed (PubMed:10564580). Expressed in neurons (PubMed:20543869). Expressed in malignant glial tumors (PubMed:20543869). Expression is reduced or absent in a number of cancer cell lines (PubMed:10564580).
Nucleus. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, stress fiber. Cell junction, focal adhesion. Cell projection, ruffle membrane. Cell junction, synapse. Colocalizes with F-actin and COMMD1 in the nucleus (PubMed:28604741). Colocalizes with MAP1A along actin stress fibers and membrane ruffles (PubMed:20543869).
