Enables kinesin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including positive regulation of cell projection organization; protein localization to centrosome; and pyramidal neuron migration to cerebral cortex. Acts upstream of or within regulation of glutamatergic synaptic transmission. Located in several cellular components, including central region of growth cone; microtubule cytoskeleton; and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Part of dynein complex and kinesin complex. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in autism spectrum disorder (multiple); bipolar disorder; chronic fatigue syndrome; major depressive disorder; and psychotic disorder (multiple). Orthologous to human DISC1 (DISC1 scaffold protein). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
