Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Enables tubulin binding activity and tubulin-glutamic acid ligase activity. Involved in regulation of cilium beat frequency involved in ciliary motility. Acts upstream of or within microtubule bundle formation; microtubule severing; and positive regulation of cilium movement. Located in 9+0 non-motile cilium and ciliary basal body. Is expressed in several structures, including branchial arch; early embryo; genitourinary system; inner ear; and primitive streak. Orthologous to human TTLL6 (tubulin tyrosine ligase like 6).
