Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable microtubule binding activity and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in regulation of postsynapse assembly. Acts upstream of or within hippocampus development and neurogenesis. Located in cytoplasm and neuron projection. Is active in glutamatergic synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including limb mesenchyme; limb segment; nervous system; retina; and urinary system. Used to study lissencephaly. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in X-linked lissencephaly 1 and subcortical band heterotopia. Orthologous to human DCX (doublecortin).
