Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables identical protein binding activity and microtubule binding activity. Involved in centrosome duplication and neuron migration. Acts upstream of or within microtubule nucleation; nervous system development; and vesicle transport along microtubule. Located in spindle pole centrosome and synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; cardiovascular system; liver; musculature; and spleen. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lissencephaly 4. Orthologous to human NDE1 (nudE neurodevelopment protein 1).
