Enables identical protein binding activity and microtubule binding activity. Involved in centrosome duplication and neuron migration. Acts upstream of or within microtubule nucleation; nervous system development; and vesicle transport along microtubule. Located in spindle pole centrosome and synapse. Is expressed in several structures, including body cavity or lining; brain; early conceptus; integumental system; and vertebral axis musculature. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in lissencephaly 4. Orthologous to human NDE1 (nudE neurodevelopment protein 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
