Facts about Shootin-1.
Plays a role in cytoskeletal organization by controlling the subcellular localization of phosphoinositide 3-kinase (PI3K) activity in the axonal growth cone. Plays also a role in regenerative neurite outgrowth.

Perikaryon. Cell projection, axon. Cell projection, growth cone. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cell projection, filopodium. Cell projection, lamellipodium. Localizes in multiple growth cones at neurite tips before the neuronal symmetry-breaking step. Accumulates in growth cones of a single nascent axon in a neurite length-dependent manner during the neuronal symmetry-breaking step; when absent from the nascent axon's siblings, probably due to competitive transport, prevents the formation of surplus axons. Transported anterogradely from the soma to the axon growth cone in an actin and myosin-depende
