DESCRIPTION

Also known as EZRI_HUMAN, EZR, VIL2. Probably involved in connections of major cytoskeletal structures to the plasma membrane. In epithelial cells, required for the formation of microvilli and membrane ruffles on the apical pole. Along with PLEKHG6, required for normal macropinocytosis. Interacts with PALS1 and SLC9A3R2. Found in a complex with EZR, PODXL and SLC9A3R2 (By similarity). Interacts with MCC, PLEKHG6, PODXL, SCYL3/PACE1, SLC9A3R1 and TMEM8B (PubMed:9314537, PubMed:12651155, PubMed:15498789, PubMed:17616675, PubMed:17881735, PubMed:19555689). Interacts (when phosphorylated) with FES/FPS (PubMed:18046454). Interacts with dimeric S100P, the interaction may be activating through unmasking of F-actin binding sites (PubMed:12808036, PubMed:19111582). Identified in complexes that contain VIM, EZR, AHNAK, BFSP1, BFSP2, ANK2, PLEC, PRX and spectrin (By similarity). Detected in a complex composed of at least EZR, AHNAK, PPL and PRX (By similarity). Interacts with PDPN (via cytoplasmic domain); activates RHOA and promotes epithelial-mesenchymal transition (PubMed:17046996). Interacts with SPN/CD43 cytoplasmic tail, CD44 and ICAM2 (By similarity).
