UniProtKB description:  ATP-dependent microtubule severing protein. Stimulates microtubule minus-end depolymerization and poleward microtubule flux in the mitotic spindle (PubMed:15242610, PubMed:15562320, PubMed:15823537, PubMed:16276413, PubMed:17452528, PubMed:25875445, PubMed:18202664, PubMed:19341724). Regulates microtubule stability in the neuromuscular junction synapse (PubMed:15242610, PubMed:15562320, PubMed:19341724). Involved in lipid metabolism by regulating the size and distribution of lipid droplets (PubMed:25875445). Involved in axon regeneration by regulating microtubule severing (PubMed:23122959).
