protein coding gene
Automated Description
Enables microtubule binding activity and microtubule stabilizing activity. Involved in several processes, including cellular response to mechanical stimulus; melanotic encapsulation of foreign target; and sensory perception of sound. Located in sensory dendrite. Is active in cytosol. Is expressed in embryonic head epidermis; embryonic head sensory system; sense organ; sensory cluster; and sensory nervous system primordium. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in subcortical band heterotopia. Orthologous to several human genes including EML1 (EMAP like 1); EML3 (EMAP like 3); and EML4 (EMAP like 4).
