Description

Predicted to have microtubule-severing ATPase activity and tubulin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including cytoplasmic microtubule organization; generation of neurons; and positive regulation of microtubule depolymerization. Predicted to colocalize with microtubule cytoskeleton. Used to study hereditary spastic paraplegia. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in hereditary spastic paraplegia 4. Orthologous to human SPAST (spastin).
