Ckap5 - cytoskeleton associated protein 5

Predicted to enable microtubule binding activity; microtubule plus end polymerase; and ribonucleoprotein complex binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including central nervous system myelin formation; dendritic spine maintenance; and learning. Located in dendrite; neuronal ribonucleoprotein granule; and perikaryon. Is expressed in several structures, including nervous system; nose; respiratory system; thymus primordium; and tooth. Orthologous to human CKAP5 (cytoskeleton associated protein 5). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
