Summary
Enables calmodulin binding activity and protein domain specific binding activity. Involved in establishment of meiotic spindle orientation; meiotic spindle organization; and regulation of protein localization. Located in spindle midzone and spindle pole. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in microcephaly; primary autosomal recessive microcephaly; primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 5; and visual epilepsy. Orthologous to human ASPM (assembly factor for spindle microtubules). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
