Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable alpha-tubulin binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adult locomotory behavior; muscle atrophy; and peripheral nervous system neuron axonogenesis. Predicted to be located in cytoskeleton. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including liver; nervous system; sensory organ; thymus primordium; and urinary system. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Kenny-Caffey syndrome type 1; hypoparathyroidism; and hypoparathyroidism-retardation-dysmorphism syndrome. Orthologous to human TBCE (tubulin folding cofactor E).
