Function |
Binds to the plus end of microtubules and regulates microtubule dynamics and microtubule organization. Promotes cytoplasmic microtubule nucleation and elongation. Required for normal structure of the microtubule cytoskeleton during interphase. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:21646404}.
|
Subcellular Location |
Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Note=Colocalizes with microtubules. Detected at the plus end of growing microtubules.
|
Tissue Specificity |
Widely expressed with highest levels in adult liver, testis and ovary, and lowest levels in adult pancreas and spleen and in fetal brain. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:10819331}.
