Summary: Enables microtubule binding activity. Involved in axonemal central apparatus assembly; cilium movement; and negative regulation of microtubule depolymerization. Located in 9+2 motile cilium; axonemal central apparatus; and ciliary tip. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; gut; reproductive system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Orthologous to human SPEF1 (sperm flagellar 1).

RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
