Predicted to enable hydrolase activity; magnesium ion binding activity; and microtubule-severing ATPase activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including cellular response to ionizing radiation; osteoblast proliferation; and regulation of double-strand break repair via homologous recombination. Predicted to act upstream of or within negative regulation of intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway. Predicted to be located in nuclear chromosome and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Orthologous to human FIGNL1 (fidgetin like 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
