Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable gamma-tubulin binding activity. Predicted to contribute to microtubule minus-end binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including meiotic cell cycle; microtubule cytoskeleton organization; and nervous system development. Predicted to be located in microtubule organizing center and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of gamma-tubulin complex. Predicted to be active in centrosome and equatorial microtubule organizing center. Is expressed in cerebral cortex; cerebral cortex ventricular layer; and cortical plate. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in pachygyria, microcephaly, developmental delay, and dysmorphic facies, with or without seizures. Orthologous to human TUBGCP2 (tubulin gamma complex component 2).
