Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable GTP binding activity; GTPase activity; and identical protein binding activity. Predicted to be involved in axonogenesis; endoplasmic reticulum tubular network membrane organization; and protein homooligomerization. Located in endoplasmic reticulum tubular network. Is expressed in cerebral cortex; cortical layer V; and cortical plate. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary sensory neuropathy type 1D and hereditary spastic paraplegia 3A. Orthologous to human ATL1 (atlastin GTPase 1).
