Facts about Microtubule-actin cross-linking factor 1.
Acts as a positive regulator of Wnt receptor signaling pathway and is involved in the translocation of AXIN1 and its associated complex (composed of APC, CTNNB1 and GSK3B) from the cytoplasm to the cell membrane (PubMed:16815997). Has actin-regulated ATPase activity and is essential for controlling focal adhesions (FAs) assembly and dynamics (PubMed:18854161).
