Type: | Family | Name: | WASH complex subunit 7 |
Description: | The WASH (WASP and Scar homologue) complex is present at the surface of endosomes and recruits and activates the Arp2/3 complex to induce mediated actin nucleation. The WASH complex plays a key role in the fission of tubules that serve as transport intermediates during endosome sorting [].The WASH complex consists of several subunits: F-actin-capping protein subunit alpha (CAPZA1, CAPZA2 or CAPZA3), F-actin-capping protein subunit beta (CAPZB), WASH (WASH1, WASH2P, WASH3P, WASH4P, WASH5P or WASH6P), FAM21 (FAM21A, FAM21B or FAM21C), KIAA1033, KIAA0196 (strumpellin) and CCDC53.This entry represents the WASH complex subunit 7 (also known as KIAA1033). | Short Name: | WASH7 |
