Enables protein domain specific binding activity. Predicted to be involved in microtubule cytoskeleton organization; mitotic cell cycle; and regulation of synapse organization. Located in membrane raft and myelin sheath. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lissencephaly; lissencephaly 3; microcephaly; and visual epilepsy. Orthologous to human TUBA1A (tubulin alpha 1a). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
