Also known as: Scar; WAVE; WAVE-1
Summary: Predicted to enable Arp2/3 complex binding activity and protein kinase A regulatory subunit binding activity. Predicted to contribute to small GTPase binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to brain-derived neurotrophic factor stimulus; dendrite extension; and modification of postsynaptic actin cytoskeleton. Acts upstream of or within lamellipodium morphogenesis. Located in lamellipodium and mitochondrial outer membrane. Is active in postsynapse. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; liver; spleen; testis; and tooth. Orthologous to human WASF1 (WASP family member 1).

We identified a phosphorylation-dependent mechanism that regulates selective recruitment of these effectors to Lamellipodin: Abl-mediated Lamellipodin phosphorylation promotes its association with both Scar/WAVE and Ena/VASP, whereas Src-dependent phosphorylation enhances binding to Scar/WAVE but not to Ena/VASP

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
