Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables DNA binding activity; microtubule binding activity; and protein kinase binding activity. Involved in DNA damage response; negative regulation of tubulin deacetylation; and regulation of cellular response to heat. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including adult walking behavior; generation of neurons; and transport along microtubule. Located in several cellular components, including cytoskeleton; membrane raft; and postsynaptic density. Is expressed in several structures, including gut; nervous system; sensory organ; smooth muscle tissue; and urinary system. Used to study Alzheimer's disease and syndromic X-linked intellectual disability Lubs type. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in dementia (multiple); neurodegenerative disease (multiple); progressive supranuclear palsy; and temporal lobe epilepsy. Orthologous to human MAPT (microtubule associated protein tau).
