Involved in transforming growth factor beta-mediated rearrangement of the podocyte cytoskeleton which includes reduction of F-actin fibers and broadening, flattening and elongation of podocytes. Plays a role in basement membrane organization (By similarity). May promote cleavage furrow maturation during cytokinesis in preimplantation embryos (By similarity). May play a role in the architecture of adhesive and flexible epithelial cell junctions (By similarity). May play a role during myocardial remodeling by imparting an effect on cardiac fibroblast migration (By similarity).
