Summary: Enables myosin binding activity. Involved in sperm axoneme assembly. Located in perinuclear region of cytoplasm. Is expressed in several structures, including embryonic/larval esophagus; neuron projection bundle of larval ventral nerve cord; ovary; presumptive embryonic/larval central nervous system; and spermatozoon. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in keratoconus; lissencephaly; lissencephaly 3; microcephaly; and visual epilepsy. Orthologous to several human genes including TUBA3C (tubulin alpha 3c) and TUBA3D (tubulin alpha 3d). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]
