Protein function (UniProt)

Nck-associated protein 1-like

Essential hematopoietic-specific regulator of the actin cytoskeleton (Probable). Controls lymphocyte development, activation, proliferation and homeostasis, erythrocyte membrane stability, as well as phagocytosis and migration by neutrophils and macrophages (PubMed:16417406, PubMed:17696648). Component of the WAVE2 complex which signals downstream of RAC to stimulate F-actin polymerization. Required for stabilization and/or translation of the WAVE2 complex proteins in hematopoietic cells (By similarity). Within the WAVE2 complex, enables the cortical actin network to restrain excessive degranulation and granule release by T-cells (PubMed:32647003). Required for efficient T-lymphocyte and neutrophil migration (PubMed:32647003). Exhibits complex cycles of activation and inhibition to generate waves of propagating the assembly with actin (PubMed:16417406). Also involved in mechanisms WAVE-independent to regulate myosin and actin polymerization during neutrophil chemotaxis (PubMed:17696648). In T-cells, required for proper mechanistic target of rapamycin complex 2 (mTORC2)-dependent AKT phosphorylation, cell proliferation and cytokine secretion, including that of IL2 and TNF (PubMed:32647003)
