Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.1.0)
Predicted to enable identical protein binding activity. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including chordate embryonic development; embryonic organ development; and non-motile cilium assembly. Predicted to be located in cytoplasm and nucleoplasm. Predicted to be part of procentriole replication complex. Predicted to be active in centriole and centrosome. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; integumental system; respiratory system; and sensory organ. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 7. Orthologous to human STIL (STIL centriolar assembly protein).
