    Summary
    Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including establishment of mitotic spindle orientation; neuronal stem cell population maintenance; and protein localization to centrosome. Predicted to be located in centrosome and cytoplasm. Is expressed in brain. Used to study microcephaly. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in breast cancer; endometrial cancer; microcephaly; primary autosomal recessive microcephaly; and primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 1. Orthologous to human MCPH1 (microcephalin 1). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Nov 2024]

    RefSeqs maintained independently of Annotated Genomes

    These reference sequences exist independently of genome builds. Explain

    These reference sequences are curated independently of the genome annotation cycle, so their versions may not match the RefSeq versions in the current genome build. Identify version mismatches by comparing the version of the RefSeq in this section to the one reported in Genomic regions, transcripts, and products above.
