POC1A POC1 centriolar protein A

Gene ID: 25886, updated on 3-Apr-2024
Gene type: protein coding
Also known as: PIX2; SOFT; WDR51A

Summary

POC1 proteins contain an N-terminal WD40 domain and a C-terminal coiled coil domain and are part of centrosomes. They play an important role in basal body and cilia formation. This gene encodes one of the two POC1 proteins found in humans. Mutations in this gene result in short stature, onychodysplasia, facial dysmorphism, and hypotrichosis (SOFT) syndrome.
