Katnb1 - katanin p80 (WD40-containing) subunit B 1

Enables dynein complex binding activity. Predicted to be involved in several processes, including microtubule cytoskeleton organization; positive regulation of neuron projection development; and regulation of microtubule depolymerization. Predicted to act upstream of or within cell division. Located in axon and centrosome. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; genitourinary system; heart; nervous system; and primitive streak. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lissencephaly 6. Orthologous to human KATNB1 (katanin regulatory subunit B1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
