The function of Ensembl gene identifier ENSG00000141376 (BCAS3, BCAS3 microtubule associated cell migration factor) is as follows. Plays a role in angiogenesis. Participates in the regulation of cell polarity and directional endothelial cell migration by mediating both the activation and recruitment of CDC42 and the reorganization of the actin cytoskeleton at the cell leading edge. Promotes filipodia formation (By similarity). Functions synergistically with PELP1 as a transcriptional coactivator of estrogen receptor- responsive genes. Stimulates histone acetyltransferase activity. Binds to chromatin. Plays a regulatory role in autophagic activity. In complex with PHAF1, associates with the preautophagosomal structure during both non-selective and selective autophagy (PubMed:33499712). Probably binds phosphatidylinositol 3-phosphate (PtdIns3P) which would mediate the recruitment preautophagosomal structures (PubMed:33499712). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8CCN5, ECO:0000269|PubMed:17505058, ECO:0000269|PubMed:33499712}.
