Belongs to an adhesion system, which plays a role in the organization of homotypic, interneuronal and heterotypic cell-cell adherens junctions (AJs). May connect the nectin-afadin and E-cadherin-catenin system through alpha-actinin and may be involved in organization of the actin cytoskeleton at AJs through afadin and alpha-actinin (PubMed:12446711). Acts as a centrosome maturation factor, probably by maintaining the integrity of the pericentriolar material and proper microtubule nucleation at mitotic spindle poles. The function seems to implicate at least in part WRAP73; the SSX2IP:WRAP73 complex is proposed to act as regulator of spindle anchoring at the mitotic centrosome (By similarity). Involved in cell movement: localizes at the leading edge of moving cells in response to PDGF and is required for the formation of the leading edge and the promotion of cell movement, possibly via activation of Rac signaling (PubMed:22027834). Involved in ciliogenesis (By similarity). It is required for targeted recruitment of the BBSome, CEP290, RAB8, and SSTR3 to the cilia (By similarity). Interacts with SSX2 and SSX3 (By similarity). Does not interact with SSX1 and SSX4 (By similarity). Interacts with afadin and alpha-actinin (PubMed:12446711). Interacts with VAV2 (PubMed:22027834). Interacts with PCM1 (PubMed:24356449). Interacts with WRAP73 (By similarity). Not found at cell-matrix AJs. Widely expressed. Belongs to the ADIP family.
