UniProt functional annotation for Q70E73

UniProt code: Q70E73.

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Primates; Haplorrhini; Catarrhini; Hominidae; Homo.
 
Function: Mediator of localized membrane signals. Implicated in the regulation of lamellipodial dynamics. Negatively regulates cell adhesion.
 
Subunit: Interacts with EVL and VASP and targets them to the leading edge (PubMed:15469845). Interacts (via Ras associating and PH domains) with RAC1 (PubMed:18499456). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15469845, ECO:0000269|PubMed:18499456}.
Subcellular location: Cell membrane {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15469845}; Peripheral membrane protein {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15469845}; Cytoplasmic side {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15469845}. Cell projection, lamellipodium {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15469845}. Cell projection, filopodium {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15469845}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15469845}. Note=Recruited to the membrane, via the PH domain, by the phosphoinositide, PI(3,4)P2. Colocalizes with ENAH/VASP at the tips of lamellipodia and filopodia. Also colocalizes with the pathogens, Vaccinia and Enteropathogenic E.coli (EPEC) at the interface between the pathogen and their actin.
Tissue specificity: Isoform RMO1-RAPH1 is ubiquitously expressed with highest levels in brain, heart, ovary and developing embryo. Isoform RMO1 is widely expressed with highest levels in liver. Low expression in B-cells. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15469845, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15609301}.
Induction: Reduced expression in metastatic osteosarcomas compared to primary osteosarcoma tumors. Down-regulated in both breast (43% of tissue samples) and ovarian (25% of tissue samples) cancers.
Similarity: Belongs to the MRL family. {ECO:0000305}.
