May be involved in anchoring the apical junctional complex, especially tight junctions, to actin-based cytoskeletons.
Subcellular locations: Cell junction, Tight junction
Localizes to the apical junction complex composed of tight and adherens junctions . In the liver and kidney, it is also found along non-junctional actin filament bundles in addition to the apical junction (By similarity).
