Ubiquitously expressed with highest levels in liver, lung, and kidney. Not found in spleen.
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, stress fiber. Membrane; Peripheral membrane protein. Component of the microfilament system. Colocalizes with actin fibers at the cell border and along the stress fibers in growth-arrested fibroblasts. Mainly membrane-associated. When hyperphosphorylated, accumulates at membrane ruffles.
