Function
Microtubule-associated force-producing protein that may play a role in organelle transport. Has ATPase activity (By similarity). Involved in synaptic transmission. Mediates dendritic trafficking of mRNAs (By similarity). Required for anterograde axonal transportation of MAPK8IP3/JIP3 which is essential for MAPK8IP3/JIP3 function in axon elongation (By similarity).
