Function Microtubule-associated force-producing protein involved in producing microtubule bundles and able to bind and hydrolyze GTP. Plays a role in the regulation of neuron morphology, axon growth and formation of neuronal growth cones (By similarity). Plays an important role in vesicular trafficking processes, in particular endocytosis. Involved in cytokinesis. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P39052, ECO:0000269|PubMed:12498685}.
Subcellular Location Cytoplasm. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton. Cell junction {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P39052}. Membrane, clathrin-coated pit {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P39052}. Cell junction, synapse, postsynaptic cell membrane, postsynaptic density. Cell junction, synapse. Midbody. Note=Colocalizes with CTTN at the basis of filopodia in hippocampus neuron growth zones (By similarity). Microtubule-associated. Also found in the postsynaptic density of neuronal cells. {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P39052}.
