Function
Microtubule-associated protein (MAP) that regulates the orientation of interphase cortical microtubules. Binds to, bundles and stabilizes microtubules. Required for the organization and stability of cortical microtubules in hypocotyls. Required for normal hypocotyl cell elongation. Acts as negative regulator of hypocotyl cell elongation in the light.
