Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables kinesin binding activity and microtubule binding activity. Involved in anterograde dendritic transport of neurotransmitter receptor complex and vesicle-mediated transport. Located in several cellular components, including ciliary rootlet; neuron projection; and neuronal cell body. Is active in postsynaptic cytosol. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; nervous system; sensory organ; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis type 25; hereditary spastic paraplegia 10; multiple sclerosis; prostate cancer; and rheumatoid arthritis.
