Enables microtubule binding activity. Involved in several processes, including larval somatic muscle development; microtubule cytoskeleton organization; and nuclear migration. Located in apical part of cell. Is expressed in adult head; oocyte; and organism. Orthologous to human MAP7D2 (MAP7 domain containing 2); MAP7D3 (MAP7 domain containing 3); and MAP7 (microtubule associated protein 7).
FB Description
ensconsin (ens) encodes a microtubule associated protein required for multiple kinesin-1 functions. It contributes to microtubule motor activity, centrosome separation, nuclear positioning and skeletal muscle development.
