Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.4.0)
Enables cytoskeletal motor activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including nervous system development; regulation of apoptotic process; and regulation of gene expression. Located in several cellular components, including cell surface; compact myelin; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Part of integrin complex and laminin complex. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; intraembryonic coelom; lung; musculoskeletal system; and nervous system. Used to study Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1A; Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1E; Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 3; and hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (multiple); Guillain-Barre syndrome; and hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies. Orthologous to human PMP22 (peripheral myelin protein 22).
