Function Summary
- Entrez Summary: This gene encodes a protein related to the immunoglobulin superfamily that plays a role in mitosis. Knockdown of this gene results in prometaphase arrest, abnormal nuclear morphology and apoptosis. Poly(ADP-ribosylation) of the encoded protein promotes its translocation to centrosomes, which may stimulate centrosome maturation. A chromosomal deletion including this gene may be associated with myeloid leukemia and myelodysplastic syndrome in human patients. [provided by RefSeq, Oct 2016].
- UniProt Summary: Required during prometaphase for centrosome maturation. Following poly-ADP-ribosylation (PARsylation) by TNKS, translocates from the Golgi apparatus to mitotic centrosomes and plays a key role in the formation of robust microtubules for prompt movement of chromosomes: anchors AKAP9/CG-NAP, a scaffold protein of the gamma-tubulin ring complex and promotes centrosome maturation. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:22864114}.
