Description

centromere protein J

Gene Summary

Predicted to enable several functions, including gamma-tubulin binding activity; identical protein binding activity; and transcription coactivator activity. Acts upstream of or within organelle assembly; positive regulation of non-motile cilium assembly; and smoothened signaling pathway. Located in centriole and ciliary basal body. Is expressed in several structures, including alimentary system; brain; genitourinary system; sensory organ; and vibrissa. Used to study Seckel syndrome. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Seckel syndrome 4; primary autosomal recessive microcephaly; and primary autosomal recessive microcephaly 6. Orthologous to human CENPJ (centromere protein J). [provided by Alliance of Genome Resources, Apr 2022]
