Function ATP-dependent microtubule severing protein. Microtubule severing may promote reorganization of cellular microtubule arrays and the release of microtubules from the centrosome following nucleation. Required for membrane traffic from the endoplasmic reticulum (ER) to the Golgi and for completion of the abscission stage of cytokinesis (By similarity). Required for development of axonal processes and for axonal branching. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269PubMed:18234839, ECO:0000269PubMed:19141076}.
Subcellular Localization Membrane {ECO:0000255HAMAP-Rule:MF_03021}; Single-pass membrane protein {ECO:0000255HAMAP-Rule:MF_03021}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome {ECO:0000255HAMAP-Rule:MF_03021}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton {ECO:0000255HAMAP-Rule:MF_03021}. Cytoplasm, perinuclear region {ECO:0000255HAMAP-Rule:MF_03021}. Endoplasmic reticulum {ECO:0000255HAMAP-Rule:MF_03021}. Endosome {ECO:0000255HAMAP- Rule:MF_03021}. Nucleus {ECO:0000255HAMAP-Rule:MF_03021}. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, spindle {ECO:0000255HAMAP- Rule:MF_03021}. Note=Localization to the centrosome is independent of microtubules. Localizes to the midbody of dividing cells, and this requires CHMP1B (By similarity). Evenly distributed along early axons and concentrates in the growth cone of the axons of late stage 3 neurons. {ECO:0000250, ECO:0000269PubMed:18234839}.
