Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to be involved in several processes, including centriole replication; nervous system development; and positive regulation of neuroblast proliferation. Predicted to act upstream of or within mitotic spindle organization and neuronal stem cell population maintenance. Predicted to be located in cytosol; microtubule cytoskeleton; and nucleus. Predicted to be active in mitotic spindle. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; future brain; limb bud; nasal process; and trunk somite. Used to study primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 2 with or without cortical malformations. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in intellectual disability; polymicrogyria; primary autosomal recessive microcephaly; and primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 2 with or without cortical malformations. Orthologous to human WDR62 (WD repeat domain 62).
