Plays a role in mitotic spindle orientation and mitotic progression. Regulates the distribution of dynactin at the cell cortex in a PLK1-dependent manner, thus stabilizing cortical and astral microtubule attachments required for proper mitotic spindle positioning. May link microtubules to the actin cytospkeleton and focal adhesions. May be required for directed cell migration and centrosome orientation. May also be necessary for proper stacking of the Golgi apparatus (By similarity).

Predominantly localizes to cortical actin structures during interphase and mitosis. Present in retraction fibers, which are formed at former adhesion sites during mitosis, and at spicular membrane protrusions in re-attaching cytokinetic cells. Partially colocalizes with cytoplasmic F-actin. Not detected at microtubules at interphase, nor at spindle during mitosis (By similarity).
