Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Enables microtubule minus-end binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including axonogenesis; microtubule cytoskeleton organization; and positive regulation of axonogenesis. Located in several cellular components, including axonal growth cone; dendrite; and microtubule cytoskeleton. Part of ciliary transition fiber. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; immune system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Seckel syndrome 7. Orthologous to human NIN (ninein).
