Ckap5 - cytoskeleton associated protein 5 Gene

Predicted to enable microtubule binding activity; microtubule plus end polymerase; and ribonucleoprotein complex binding activity. Predicted to be involved in microtubule Cytoskeleton organization and positive regulation of microtubule nucleation. Predicted to act upstream of or within several processes, including central nervous system myelin formation; dendritic spine maintenance; and learning. Predicted to be located in several cellular components, including neuronal ribonucleoprotein granule; nucleolus; and perikaryon. Predicted to be part of protein-containing complex. Predicted to be active in centrosome; kinetochore; and spindle pole. Predicted to colocalize with microtubule plus-end. Orthologous to human CKAP5 (Cytoskeleton associated protein 5).
