Summary: Enables microtubule binding activity. Involved in regulation of neurotransmitter receptor localization to postsynaptic specialization membrane. Acts upstream of or within microtubule cytoskeleton organization. Located in several cellular components, including cytoskeleton; smooth endoplasmic reticulum; and sperm midpiece. Part of microtubule associated complex. Is active in GABA-ergic synapse. Is expressed in retina inner plexiform layer and spinal cord. Orthologous to human GABARAP (GABA type A receptor-associated protein). [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.
