UniProt functional annotation for Q8WUW1

UniProt code: Q8WUW1.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Involved in regulation of actin and microtubule organization. Part of a WAVE complex that activates the Arp2/3 complex. As component of the WAVE1 complex, required for BDNF-NTRK2 endocytic trafficking and signaling from early endosomes (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q91VR8, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18560548}.
 
Subunit: Homotrimer when in free form. Directly interacts with WASF2. Component of the WAVE1 complex composed of ABI2, CYFIP1 or CYFIP2, BRK1, NCKAP1 and WASF1/WAVE1. Within the complex, a heterodimer containing NCKAP1 and CYFIP1 interacts with a heterotrimer formed by WAVE1, ABI2 and BRK1. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15070726, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18560548, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21107423}.
Subcellular location: Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250}.
Similarity: Belongs to the BRK1 family. {ECO:0000305}.
Sequence caution: Sequence=AAF28978.1; Type=Erroneous initiation; Note=Extended N-terminus.; Evidence={ECO:0000305};
