Automated description from the Alliance of Genome Resources (Release 7.0.0)
Predicted to enable molecular adaptor activity. Involved in centriole replication. Acts upstream of or within several processes, including centrosome duplication; meiosis I; and negative regulation of intrinsic apoptotic signaling pathway by p53 class mediator. Located in centriole and centrosome. Is expressed in olfactory epithelium and vomeronasal organ. Used to study Seckel syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Seckel syndrome 6. Orthologous to human CEP63 (centrosomal protein 63).
