This gene encodes a member of the septin family of cytoskeletal proteins with GTPase activity. This protein localizes to the cytoplasm and nucleus and displays GTP-binding and GTPase activity. A pseudogene for this gene is located on chromosome 8. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Apr 2012].
