This gene encodes a tubulin binding cofactor that participates in microtubule dynamics. A mouse model of progressive motor neuropathy (pmn) was discovered to harbor a single amino acid deletion in this gene. Mice that are homozygous for pmn allele exhibit progressive atrophy and premature death due
Predicted to enable alpha-tubulin binding activity. Predicted to be involved in microtubule cytoskeleton organization; post-chaperonin tubulin folding pathway; and tubulin complex assembly. Predicted to be located in cytoskeleton. Predicted to be active in cytoplasm. Orthologous to human TBCE
