Probable regulator of the Hippo/SWH (Sav/Wts/Hpo) signaling pathway, a signaling pathway that plays a pivotal role in tumor suppression by restricting proliferation and promoting apoptosis. Along with WWC1 can synergistically induce the phosphorylation of LATS1 and LATS2 and can probably function in the regulation of the Hippo/SWH (Sav/Wts/Hpo) signaling pathway. May act as a membrane stabilizing protein. May inhibit PI3 kinase by binding to AGAP2 and impairing its stimulating activity. Guang-Hui Xiao, et al. (2005) Mol. Cell. Biol 25: 2384 - 2394.

Subcellular Location
Isoform 1: Cell projection, filopodium membrane, Peripheral membrane protein, Cytoplasmic side, Cell projection, ruffle membrane, Peripheral membrane protein, Cytoplasmic side, Nucleus, Note=In a fibroblastic cell line, isoform 1 is found homogeneously distributed over the entire cell, with a particularly strong staining in ruffling membranes and filopodia, Colocalizes with MPP1 in non-myelin-forming Schwann cells, Binds with DCAF1 in the nucleus, The intramolecular association of the FERM domain with the C-terminal tail promotes nuclear accumulation, The unphosphorylated form accumulates predominantly in the nucleus while the phosphorylated form is largely confined to the non-nuclear fractions, SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Isoform 7: Cytoplasm, perinuclear region, Cytoplasmic granule, Note=Observed in cytoplasmic granules concentrated in a perinuclear location, Isoform 7 is absent from ruffling membranes and filopodia, SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Isoform 9: Cytoplasm, perinuclear region, Cytoplasmic granule, Note=Observed in cytoplasmic granules concentrated in a perinuclear location, Isoform 9 is absent from ruffling membranes and filopodia, SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Isoform 10: Nucleus, Cell projection, filopodium membrane, Peripheral membrane protein, Cytoplasmic side, Cell projection, ruffle membrane, Peripheral membrane protein, Cytoplasmic side, Cytoplasm, perinuclear region, Cytoplasmic granule, Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton

May act as a membrane stabilizing protein. May inhibit PI3 kinase by binding to AGAP2 and impairing its stimulating activity. Suppresses cell proliferation and tumorigenesis by inhibiting the CUL4A-RBX1-DDB1-VprBP/DCAF1 E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex.
