Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources
Exhibits microtubule binding activity. Involved in several processes, including establishment of cell polarity; generation of neurons; and microtubule bundle formation. Localizes to several cellular components, including the axon; dendrite; and proximal neuron projection. Is expressed in several structures, including back skin; central nervous system; peripheral nervous system ganglion; retina; and trigeminal nerve. Orthologous to human MAP2 (microtubule associated protein 2).
