Cell localization:Cytoplasm.The product of this gene is a subunit of neuronal microtubµLe-associated MAP1A and MAP1B proteins, which are involved in microtubµLe assembly and important for neurogenesis. Studies on the rat homolog implicate a role for this gene in autophagy, a process that involves the bµLk degradation of cytoplasmic component. [provided by RefSeq, JµL 2008],
