Component of the WASH complex, a complex present at the surface of endosomes that recruits and activates the Arp2/3 complex to induce actin polymerization.
The WASH complex plays a key role in the fission of tubules that serve as transport intermediates during endosome sorting.
In the complex, it probably mediates the recruitment of the complex to endosome membranes.
Plays a role in fluid-phase endocytosis, a process exploited by vaccinia intracellular mature virus (IMV) to enter cells.
As a result, may facilitate the penetration of IMV into cells.
Applications:Suitable for use in Western Blot.
Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
