Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables GABA receptor binding activity. Involved in anterograde axonal transport of mitochondrion. Predicted to be located in axonal growth cone; early endosome; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Predicted to be active in cytoplasmic vesicle; dendrite; and mitochondrion. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; liver; spleen; and submandibular gland primordium. Used to study Stiff-Person syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in developmental and epileptic encephalopathy 68. Orthologous to human TRAK1 (trafficking kinesin protein 1).
