description | FUNCTION: Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 8.0.0) Predicted to enable microtubule binding activity. Acts upstream of or within regulation of macrophage chemotaxis. Located in cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including extraembryonic component; eye; genitourinary system; heart; and nervous system. Orthologous to human MTUS1 (microtubule associated scaffold protein 1).
