CORO1C
Domain
The C-terminal coiled-coil domain is essential for cortical membrane localization and oligomerization.
Function
Plays a role in directed cell migration by regulating the activation and subcellular location of RAC1 (PubMed:25074804, PubMed:25925950). Increases the presence of activated RAC1 at the leading edge of migrating cells (PubMed:25074804, PubMed:25925950). Required for normal organization of the cytoskeleton, including the actin cytoskeleton, microtubules and the vimentin intermediate filaments (By similarity). Plays a role in endoplasmic reticulum-associated endosome fission: localizes to endosome membrane tubules and promotes recruitment of TMCC1, leading to recruitment of the endoplasmic reticulum to endosome tubules for fission (PubMed:30220460). Endosome membrane fission of early and late endosomes is essential to separate regions destined for lysosomal degradation from carriers to be recycled to the plasma membrane (PubMed:30220460). Required for normal cell proliferation, cell migration, and normal formation of lamellipodia (By similarity). Required for normal distribution of mitochondria within cells (By similarity).
Isoform 3

- All isoforms colocalize with the actin cytoskeleton in the cytosol, and especially in the cell cortex (PubMed:10828594, PubMed:19651142, PubMed:25074804). Colocalizes with F-actin at the leading edge of lamellipodia. Partially colocalizes with microtubules and vimentin intermediate filaments (PubMed:10828594, PubMed:19651142, PubMed:25074804). Localizes to endosome membrane tubules/buds (PubMed:30220460).
