Summary
Predicted to enable microtubule minus-end binding activity. Predicted to be involved in centrosome localization; microtubule cytoskeleton organization; and protein localization. Predicted to act upstream of or within axonogenesis and positive regulation of axonogenesis. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including axonal growth cone; microtubule cytoskeleton; and nuclear lumen. Predicted to be part of centriolar subdistal appendage and ciliary transition fiber. Predicted to be active in centriole; mitotic spindle pole; and pericentriolar material. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Seckel syndrome 7. Orthologous to human NIN (ninein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Jul 2025]

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
