Involved in bleb assembly; negative regulation of cell volume; and sensory perception of pain. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including phospholipid transport; positive regulation of cytokine production; and positive regulation of secretion. Located in several cellular components, including external side of plasma membrane; neuromuscular junction; and neuronal cell body.
