Function Affects actin polymerization through interaction with the actin-binding protein CAP32/34 (acpA/acpB). Acts as a chaperone by stimulating the refolding of denaturated acpA and acpB, but neither stimulates nor inhibits the capping activity of native CAP32/34. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:8404847, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8982279}.
Subcellular Location Cytoplasm. Note=Found in F-actin-rich regions of the cell cortex and cell protrusions.
