Facts about WASH complex subunit 2C.
Mediates the recruitment of this F-actin-capping protein dimer into the WASH core complex probably boosting localized F-actin polymerization needed for vesicle scission (PubMed:19922874, PubMed:20498093, PubMed:22513087, PubMed:23331060). Via its C-terminus binds various phospholipids, most strongly phosphatidylinositol 4- phosphate (PtdIns-(4)P), phosphatidylinositol 5-phosphate (PtdIns- (5)P) and phosphatidylinositol 3,5-bisphosphate (PtdIns-(3,5)P2).
