    Summary
    Predicted to enable GTP binding activity. Predicted to be a structural constituent of cytoskeleton. Involved in several processes, including embryonic cleavage; microtubule cytoskeleton organization; and nervous system development. Located in cortical microtubule and perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including embryonic/larval midgut primordium; germline cell; larval muscle cell; mesoderm; and neurogenic region.
