该基因属于神经元导航基因家族，主要在神经系统中表达。编码的蛋白质包含卷曲的螺旋结构域和一个保守的a a a结构域，其特征是与多种细胞活动相关的atp酶。这个基因类似于unc-53，一个参与轴突引导的秀丽隐杆线虫基因。已经描述了该基因的多个选择性剪接转录变体，但只有一个已经确定了其全长性质。[由RefSeq提供，2008年7月]
This gene belongs to the neuron navigator family and is expressed predominantly in the nervous system. The encoded protein contains coiled-coil domains and a conserved AAA domain characteristic for ATPases associated with a variety of cellular activities. This gene is similar to unc-53, a Caenorhabditis elegans gene involved in axon guidance. Multiple alternatively spliced transcript variants for this gene have been described but only one has had its full-length nature determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
