Fez1 - fasciculation and elongation protein zeta 1

Enables protein N-terminus binding activity and protein kinase C binding activity. Involved in several processes, including hippocampus development; mitochondrion morphogenesis; and positive regulation of anterograde axonal transport of mitochondrion. Located in several cellular components, including dendrite; growth cone; and neuronal cell body. Colocalizes with mitochondrion. Biomarker of Parkinson's disease. Orthologous to human FEZ1 (fasciculation and elongation protein zeta 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
