Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable protein kinase binding activity. Involved in centriole replication and de novo centriole assembly involved in multi-ciliated epithelial cell differentiation. Located in centrosome and deuterosome. Is expressed in several structures, including brain; lung; pharynx epithelium; sensory organ; and skeleton. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Seckel syndrome 5 and primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 9. Orthologous to human CEP152 (centrosomal protein 152).
