Function
CHUP1_ARATH Required for the positioning and movement of chloroplasts. Interacts with profilin and actin independent of its polymerization status. Regulates chloroplast localization by anchoring chloroplasts to the plasma membrane and forming a bridge to the actin cytoskeleton.[1] [2] [3] [4]
