Microtubule-associated protein essential for correct brain development . Appears to link the dystrophin/utrophin network with microtubule filaments via the syntrophins. Phosphorylation of DMD or UTRN may modulate their affinities for associated proteins (By similarity).
Subcellular locations: Cell membrane, Cytoplasm, Cytoskeleton, Cell projection, Axon, Cell projection, Dendrite
Also localized in the soma of neurons. Observed as punctate clusters in the processes of interneurons and along the cell body periphery. Colocalizes with syntrophins at the cell membrane.
Expressed in fetal brain.
