DESCRIPTION

Also known as WIPF1_HUMAN, WIPF1, WASPIP, WIP. Plays a role in the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton. Contributes with NCK1 and GRB2 in the recruitment and activation of WASL. May participate in regulating the subcellular localization of WASL, resulting in the disassembly of stress fibers in favor of filopodia formation. Plays a role in the formation of cell ruffles (By similarity). Plays an important role in the intracellular motility of vaccinia virus by functioning as an adapter for recruiting WASL to vaccinia virus. Binds to WAS, profilin and actin. Binds to WASL (By similarity). Interacts with DBNL. Interacts with FNBP1L (via the SH3 domain) (PubMed:19798448).
