Members of this protein family play a role in neuronal growth and endocytosis. The encoded protein is likely involved in neurite branching, neurite elongation and neuronal migration. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) indicate an association of variations in this gene with blood pressure and hypertension. Sequence variations in this gene may also be be associated with psychiatric disorders, including schizophrenia and bipolar disorder. Pseudogenes associated with this gene have been identified and are located on chromosome 15. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2016]. * **UniProt Summary**: May be involved in the remodeling of cytoskeletal components, such as alpha-tubulin, and in this way regulates neurite branching and elongation, as well as cell motility. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:24284070}. |Pkinase Tyr| |Pkinase| |regulation of protein kinase C signaling| |regulation of p38MAPK cascade| |regulation of neuron migration| |regulation of JNK cascade| |regulation of stress-activated MAPK cascade| |regulation of stress-activated protein kinase signaling cascade| |protein serine/threonine kinase activity| |microtubule cytoskeleton organization| |regulation of neuron projection development| |regulation of neuron differentiation| |microtubule-based process| |regulation of plasma membrane bounded cell projection organization| |regulation of cell projection organization| |regulation of cellular response to stress| |regulation of MAPK cascade| |regulation of neurogenesis| |regulation of cell migration| |regulation of cell motility| |regulation of nervous system development| |regulation of cell development| |protein phosphorylation| |regulation of locomotion| |regulation of cellular component movement| |cytoskeleton organization| |phosphorylation| |regulation of protein phosphorylation| |regulation of response to stress| |ATP binding| |generation of neurons| |regulation of phosphorylation| |neurogenesis| |regulation of phosphate metabolic process| |regulation of phosphorus metabolic process| |regulation of cell differentiation| |regulation of intracellular signal transduction| |regulation of protein modification process| \\ === CRISPR Data === No hits were found.
