Note=Localizes to the tips of cortical microtubules of the mitotic spindle during cell division, and is further released upon microtubule depolymerization (PubMed:15827085). Recruited into membrane ruffles induced by S.flexneri at tight junctions of polarized epithelial cells (PubMed:19043560). Colocalized with NOD2 and RIPK2 in vesicles and with the cytoskeleton (PubMed:21887730). {ECO:0000269|PubMed:15827085, ECO:0000269|PubMed:19043560, ECO:0000269|PubMed:21887730}.
