Normal role description: Essential for spindle formation and completion of cytokinesis. Negatively regulates katanin-mediated microtubule severing and release from the centrosome. May negatively regulate axonal outgrowth. Negative regulator of the Wnt signalling pathway and repressor of beta-catenin-mediated transcriptional activation by promoting the nuclear exclusion of beta-catenin.
