Function Could be involved in oogenesis. Involved in the regulation of endosome dynamics. Implicated in a novel signal transduction pathway, in which isoform 3 and CSK are sequentially activated by RHOD to regulate the motility of early endosomes through interactions with the actin cytoskeleton. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:12577064}.
Subcellular Location Isoform 3: Cytoplasm, cytosol. Early endosome. Note=Isoform 3 is cytosolic but when coexpressed with RHOD, the 2 proteins colocalize to early endosomes.
Tissue Specificity Expressed in testis, ovary, small intestine, prostate, lung, liver, kidney and leukocytes.
