Predicted to enable alpha-tubulin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in mitotic spindle organization; post-chaperonin tubulin folding pathway; and tubulin complex assembly. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including adult locomotory behavior; muscle atrophy; and peripheral nervous system neuron axonogenesis. Predicted to be located in cytoskeleton. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Kenny-Caffey syndrome type 1; hypoparathyroidism; and hypoparathyroidism-retardation-dysmorphism syndrome. Orthologous to human TBCE (tubulin folding cofactor E). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
