Encodes a WD/BEACH domain protein involved in cell morphogenesis and ribonucleoprotein particle formation. It interacts with the P-body core component DCP2, associates to mRNA processing bodies (P-bodies), and regulates their assembly upon salt stress. It accumulates at the root hair apex via post-Golgi compartments and positively regulates tip growth by maintaining tip-focused vesicle secretion and filamentous-actin integrity.
