Facts about Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome protein family member 1.
Part of the WAVE complex that regulates lamellipodia formation. The WAVE complex regulates actin filament reorganization through its interaction with the Arp2/3 complex (By similarity).

Highly expressed in brain. Lowly expressed in testis, ovary, colon, kidney, pancreas, thymus, small intestine and peripheral blood.
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cell junction, synapse. Cell junction, focal adhesion. Dot-like pattern in the cytoplasm. Concentrated in Rac-regulated membrane-ruffling areas (PubMed:9889097). Partial translocation to focal adhesion sites might be mediated by interaction with SORBS2 (PubMed:18559503). In neurons, colocalizes with activated NTRK2 after BDNF addition in endocytic sites through the association with TMEM108 (By similarity).
