Component of the exocyst complex involved in the docking of exocytic vesicles with fusion sites on the plasma membrane. In adipocytes, plays a crucial role in targeting SLC2A4 vesicle to the plasma membrane in response to insulin, perhaps directing the vesicle to the precise site of fusion (By similarity). It is required for neuron survival and plays an essential role in cortical development (By similarity).
Subcellular locations: Cytoplasm, Cytosol, Cell membrane, Midbody, Midbody ring
Translocates, as a preformed complex with EXOC3/SEC6 and EXOC4/SEC8, to the plasma membrane in response to insulin through the activation of ARHQ (By similarity). Colocalizes with CNTRL/centriolin at the midbody ring .
Abundant in the ventricular zone, the outer subventricular zone and the cortical plate of the fetal cortex.
