Predicted to enable several functions, including magnesium ion binding activity; microtubule nucleator activity; and protein homodimerization activity. Involved in microtubule polymerization; nervous system development; and positive regulation of myelination. Located in cytoplasm and nucleus. Colocalizes with microtubule. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; genitourinary system; gut; hemolymphoid system gland; and nasal cavity epithelium. Orthologous to human TPPP (tubulin polymerization promoting protein).
