Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: The protein encoded by this gene localizes to the centrosome during mitosis and to the midbody during cytokinesis. The protein is phosphorylated by cyclin-dependent kinase 1 during mitosis and subsequently interacts with polo-like kinase 1. The protein is thought to function in regulating mitosis and cytokinesis. Mutations in this gene result in nonphotosensitive trichothiodystrophy. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2009].
- UniProt Summary: May play a role in maintenance of cell cycle integrity by regulating mitosis or cytokinesis. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:17310276}.
