CEP120 centrosomal protein 120

Gene ID: 153241, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: JBTS31; SRTD13; CCDC100

Summary

This gene encodes a protein that functions in the microtubule-dependent coupling of the nucleus and the centrosome. A similar protein in mouse plays a role in both interkinetic nuclear migration, which is a characteristic pattern of nuclear movement in neural progenitors, and in neural progenitor self-renewal. Mutations in this gene are predicted to result in neurogenic defects. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2009]
