Encodes a protein with moderate sequence similarity to the maize microtubule-binding protein TANGLED1. A single base-pair deletion (-A) at position Chr3:1519176 in Columbia relative to the Landsberg erecta and Achkarren-2 ecotype (see ESTs DR378436 and CB26450) introduces a frame-shift and premature termination codon. The protein encoded from the Columbia gene is truncated by 29 amino acids relative to the Landsberg erecta and Achkarren-2 encoded proteins. Involved in the identification of the division plane during mitosis amd cytokinesis
