This gene encodes a regulator of cell migration. The encoded protein appears to function in the RhoA (ras homolog gene family, member A)-Dia1 (diaphanous homolog 1) signal transduction pathway. Alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2010]
Function:
Tumor suppressor which functions to suppress MKL1-induced SRF transcriptional activity. May function in the RHOA-DIAPH1 signal transduction pathway and regulate cell migration through transcriptional regulation of ITGB1.
Subunit:
Interacts with DIAPH1 (By similarity). Forms a nuclear ternary complex with MKL1 and SRF.
Subcellular Location:
Membrane. Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Nuclear localization is required for inhibition of MKL1.
Similarity:
Belongs to the SCAI family.
