Function | Cell membrane-cytoskeleton-associated protein that plays a role in the regulation of actin polymerization at the barbed end of actin filaments. Prevents F-actin heterodimeric capping protein (CP) activity at the leading edges of migrating cells, and hence generates uncapped barbed ends and enhances actin polymerization, however, seems unable to nucleate filaments (PubMed:16054028). Plays a role in lamellipodial protrusion formations and cell migration (PubMed:19846667). |
Cellular Location | Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q6EDY6}. Cell membrane. Cell projection, lamellipodium. Note=Found on macropinosomes (PubMed:19846667). Colocalized with heterodimeric capping protein (CP) and F-actin in lamellipodia but not with F-actin in stress fibers (PubMed:19846667). |
Tissue Location | Expressed in lung, placenta, small intestine, liver, thymus, colon, skeletal muscle, heart and brain. Higher expression in kidney. |

Background
LRRC16A binds CAPZA2 with high affinity and significantly decreases CAPZA2 affinity for actin barbed ends. Increases the rate of elongation from seeds in the presence of CAPZA2, however, seems unable to nucleate filaments. Rapidly uncaps barbed ends capped by CAPZA2 and enhances barbed-end actin polymerization (By similarity).
